Reviews / Votes
Buildings of Delaware should prove to be an indispensable reference book. The book's value lies in its excellent maps, historic and modern illustrations, logical organization, and extensive research into the construction dates and architects. It's not just interesting reading but also the best guide to those who want to tour Delaware since the 1938 Federal Writers' Project Guide to Delaware. - Wilmington News JournalMore details
