The later Colonial era saw a need to replace the buildings
hurriedly assembled by earlier colonists, but competent builders
were difficult to find. Capable housewrights were usually well paid
and many became respected and prosperous members of their
communities, but craft apprenticeships and a gentlemanly taste were
two of the primary requirements for becoming an architect. As the
profession developed, architects in the Northeast initiated efforts
to distinguish between their work and that of housewrights and
builders. This work is a history of the development of architecture
as a profession in the United States. It is divided into four
chronological sections. Section One covers the beginnings in
Colonial times before 1800 when there were no identifiable
professionals. Section Two examines architecture from 1800 to the
Civil War when the first architects appeared. Section Three
considers the profession from the time of the Civil War to World
War I and the strengthening of the professions status. Section Four
covers architecture since World War I up to the present. Each
section discusses the training of architects, standards of
practice, general management methods, information sources, minority
participation, and other aspects of professional operation, with
special attention given to the relationship between the professions
development and the social history of the periods.
