"The greatest influences of German architecture on America are
bipolar: Folk Architecture and Modern Academic Architecture. In
between are the lower keyed stories of less dramatic
contributions." From log houses, corner beer halls and restaurants,
and modern theme parks to the Brooklyn bridge and the Seagram
Building in New York, German-inspired architecture covers America
and defines a cultural heritage. In this book, a fascinating text
is peppered with over 300 historical and contemporary photographs
that illustrate powerful as well as quaint German-style buildings
throughout America. From the Hill Country of Texas to the skylines
of the great American cities and famous bridges, everyday places
and American icons alike are described in detail with charming
anecdotes about people and uses that combine to create a culture
that is all-American. This book features so many highly recognized
places that you will wonder why the subject hasn't been presented
before. It is fresh, stimulating, and entertaining; a delight to
architects and all who have never before thought about the great
legacy of German influence in America.
