Contents address Mount Vernon Place, Downtown, Beltway, Railroads, Mill Towns, Planned Communities, and Houses. John Dorsey could be considered a bit of a paradox. He was a man of opinions -- informed, precise ones -- but was regarded by many as a shy figure. During his long career at The Sun in Baltimore, Dorsey served as an arts restaurant critic. Dorsey joined the Sun in 1962. Dorsey served as the Sun's art critic during the 1980s and 1990s. His work, regarded highly by peers and readers, earned him the inaugural A.D. Emmart Award -- given for journalism in the field of the humanities published in Maryland -- in 1974 from the Abell Foundation. He possessed a love for architecture, which he covered for the Sun and about which he authored a book titled "A Guide to Baltimore Architecture." His last book, published in 2005, was "Look Again in Baltimore," a combined effort with architectural photographer James DuSel. James D. Dilts was a former Baltimore Sun reporter and author who wrote widely on railroads, architecture, historic preservation and jazz and led the effort for the restoration of the historic Peale Museum in Baltimore. From eighteenth-century mansions to urban high-rise buildings, A Guide to Baltimore Architecture chronicles two hundred years of architectural history through an exploration of the city's most beautiful and significant structures. Grouped by neighborhood in fifteen walking and driving tours, more than two hundred notable Baltimore buildings are pictured and described with commentary on their history and style. John Roderigo Dos Passos (January 14, 1896 - September 28, 1970) was an American novelist, most notable for his U.S.A. trilogy. Born in Chicago, Dos Passos graduated from Harvard College in 1916. He traveled widely as a young man, visiting Europe and southwest Asia, where he learned about literature, art, and architecture. As an artist, Dos Passos created his own cover art for his books, influenced by modernism in 1920s Paris. He died in Baltimore, Maryland. Wilbur Harvey Hunter was Director of the Maryland Historical Society, 1972-1978 and Director of the Peale Museum, 1946-1979. Alexander Cochran of Baltimore (1913-1990) was described as an "architectural missionary." Besides being devoted to modernism, Cochran was a highly romantic humanist who desired to keep the best of the past while adapting to modern needs. He transformed his city, pointing the way to its later renaissance in the 1960s. Second Edition [stated]. Presumed first printing thus. Seller Inventory # 86207
