This book focuses on the lives and works of two of the very first
women of European American ancestry to practice architecture in
North America during the 19th century. Mother Joseph du
Sacre-Coeur, a Sister of Providence - born Esther Pariseau, in St.
Elzar, Quebec - is credited with works built in the present states
of Washington, Idaho, Montana, northern Oregon, and in the province
of British Columbia. For her contributions, Mother Joseph was
honored by the State of Washington as one of two people to
represent it in the National Statuary Hall Collection in
Washington, DC. Louise Blanchard Bethune designed and built works
in the Buffalo, New York area. Storming the Old Boys' Citadel
follows the evolving histories of two Revival-styled multiuse
public buildings considered to be these women's major works. Listed
on the United States' National Register of Historic Places, they
have both continued to function, with extensive additions and other
changes made to each architect's original structure, for the
communities where their architects lived. The book addresses issues
of lost or hidden North American history.
