Description: Architectural historian Robert Winter and photographer Alexander Vertikoff traveled America’s heartland—the states between the western Rockies and the eastern Appalachians, from the Canadian border to the southern boundaries of Kansas, Missouri, and the Ohio River—and here catalog the region’s most noteworthy domestic architecture. Both former Midwesterners, Winter and Vertikoff made a number of discoveries: the town of Madison, Indiana, is worthy of being compared to Williamsburg, Virginia, for its wealth of fine architecture. The major architect there was Francis Costigan, an almost unknown American designer. They also found a settlement of Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired houses called Rush Creek Village in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio.
