Reader Reviews
Richmond Indiana: Its Physical Development And Aesthetic Heritage To 1920 by architectural historian Mary Raddant Tomlan in collaboration with Michael Tomlan (Director of the Graduate Program in Historic Preservation Planning in the College of Architecture, Art and Planning at Cornell University) showcases the history of architecture in the community of Richmond, Indiana. This 364-page descriptive survey is enhanced with more than 130 illustrations, including maps, subdivision plats, aerial views, and streetscapes which position individual buildings within the context of their urban settings. Richmond, Indiana examines this Midwestern city's physical nature, as well as a broad range of factors drawn over decades of urban growth and civic development -- all within the context of complex geographic, economic, political, technological, and cultural conditions that blended together to create the city from its founding up through the first two decades of the 20th Century. Published by the Indian Historical Society Press, Richmond, Indiana is very highly recommended reading and could well serve as a template for other urban communities in crafting an architectural and urban history of their villages, towns and cities.
