Richly illustrated with 15 original watercolors and 180 color photographs to show representative styles and forms. Each chapter covers a separate era in St Augustine's history and discusses the city's distinctive character during that era as well as how architectural styles evolved. Offers a history of attempts at historic preservation and suggests future remedies.

Customer Rating:
Summary: The real St. Augustine
Comment: I absolutely loved this book. The pictures and information were home, as I remember it. The pictures were appropriate for creating an architectural tour of the best of the several centuries of St. Augustine's history. The book did not limit itself to the historical district specifically, but also went into the neighborhoods beyond that dramatic area. The inclusion of such points as doors is also as much a part of a walking tour in the oldest continuing community in the United States as a trip to the Fountain of Youth or the Castillo de San Marcos. Bravo! for such a wonderful trip through the streets of home.

Summary: Attractive and informative presentation
Comment: This book is a "must read" for anyone visiting St. Augustine..
preferably before arriving.
Thomas Graham has elegantly presented
part of the Flagler legacy, that will intrigue those interested in magnificent buildings, and the people that created them.
