Contraportada

With this handsome photographic guide, Steven Brooke looks at the architecture of the Old Washington Historic State Park, examining everything from courthouses to schools, from taverns to churches, in an attempt to better understand the people who built, lived, and died within these structures.

The book is perfect for the 200,000 annual visitors to this historic town, established in 1824, where the first bowie knife was made. The park's historic weapons museum is considered among the top five in the U.S., and there is a working print shop.

Steven Brooke, an internationally acclaimed architectural photographer, has received the National Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects. Brooke is the author of Seaside, published by Pelican, and Views of Rome.
