About this item

William Strickland (1788aEURO"1854) was, in his day, among the most notable architects in the United States. An erstwhile student of Benjamin Henry Latrobe and a contemporary of Robert Mills, Strickland first entered the world of architecture at a young age in Philadelphia. But given that many of Strickland's buildings have not survived, and considering the sparse and dispersed collection of primary sources Strickland left upon his death, little contemporary scholarship has appeared concerning Strickland's significant contributions to the built environment of the early nineteenth century. In William Strickland and the Creation of an American Architecture , Robert Russell does much to rectify this underrepresentation of Strickland's notable architectural contributions in contemporary scholarship.
