Mariana Griswold Van Rensselaer (1851-1934) is highly regarded among architectural historians for her 1888 biography of the nineteenth-century architect Henry Hobson Richardson. Less well known are her writings on architecture, decorative art, gardening, and landscape design, works that provide a rare view of cities and rural environments in turn-of-the-century America. Now David Gebhard brings Van Rensselaer's significant writings together in one volume, including a chapter from the 1925 edition of Art Out-of-Doors: Hints on Good Taste in Gardening. An established critic in environmental and literary circles, Van Rensselaer wrote for the general public in such journals as the Century Magazine and for a specialized audience of landscape architects in Garden and Forest. She was a long-time contributor to The American Architect and Building News, the first architectural journal in the United States. She is an engaging and accessible writer, and her articles on Frederick Law Olmsted and the Boston Public Library won great praise. Although the only woman in a field that was male-dominated at the time, Van Rensselaer was, curiously enough, opposed to women's suffrage. David Gebhard provides an excellent introduction to this unusual woman and to her place in American architectural criticism. Van Rensselaer's writings are still of interest today, not only for her broad environmental approach, but also for her ability to relate abstract concepts to examples of harmonious design.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1996.Mariana Griswold Van Rensselaer (1851-1934) is highly regarded among architectural historians for her 1888 biography of the nineteenth-century architect Henry Hobson Richardson.

From the first years of European settlement down to the present moment, Iowa has symbolized the heart of America. In Buildings of Iowa we are offered a wide-ranging survey of this state's architecture from the earliest Native American influences to the present. The image of Iowa as the breadbasket and agricultural centre of the nation often overlooks the unity of urban and rural that is reflected in Iowa's buildings and landscape. Surveying the full array of Iowa's architectural styles on a town-by-town basis, this volume examines such structures as octagonal houses, log cabins, Beaux-Arts courthouses, water towers, grain elevators, the Iowa Soldiers' Orphans Home at Cedar Falls, the bright blue "glass fused to steel" silos built by A.O. Harvestore Products Inc., Art Deco service stations, post office buildings, churches, bank buildings, public high schools, American Prairie houses, and motion picture theatres. Beautifully illustrated with over 400 photographs, linocuts, and maps, Buildings of Iowa shows both general readers and travellers how a unity of rural and urban is effectively mirrored in Iowa's buildings.
