This presents the architectural development of one of Virginia's major cities, from its founding in 1786 to the present. More than 175 photographs and 150 drawings, prints, and early pictures illustrate the historic significance of this "city of seven hills." Major architectural styles are represented by structures designed by nationally prominent architects of the day, including Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Jason Davis, Ralph Adams Cram, and Vincent Kling. Influenced by their Quaker origins, early Lynchburg builders were conservative. It was not until the 1890s "boom" that more exuberant architecture gave the city a Victorian countenance. Eventually, Lynchburg could boast some of the most impressive residential enclaves in the state, with Tudor, Norman, and Spanish Revival houses. Predictably, the traditional Virginia Georgian proved to be the most popular of the period styles. -- From publisher's description.
