Cecil D. Elliott

"This work is a history of the development of architecture as a profession in the United States. Part I covers the beginnings in Colonial times when there were no identifiable professionals. Part II examines the formation of the profession from 1800 to the Civil War. Part III covers the era up to World War I and the strengthening of the profession's status. Part IV brings the history up to the present.". "Each part 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 profession's development and the social history of the periods."--BOOK JACKET.
