The Streamline Era Greyhound Terminals - The Architecture of W.S. Arrasmith (Paperback)

In post-Depression America, Greyhound put adventure within the
reach of all. Convinced that their terminals should project the
glamour and excitement of travel, the company turned to an
architect who could translate the sleek, streamlined Greyhound
design into buildings that would both serve and delight the public.
This volume explores the life of William Strudwick Arrasmith, a
defining artist of the short-lived era of streamline design, and
especially his work for Greyhound--at least fifty terminals and
other facilities. The final third of the book is a detailed
examination of 28 of these terminals. A full chronology of
Arrasmith's firms and commissions is also included.
