This book documents the work of Klutho, a pioneer of modern architecture who helped rebuild Jacksonville, Florida, after the great fire of 1901. Klutho's most significant buildings established a Prairie School legacy in the American South, providing new evidence of the movement's broad influence. The book also highlights Klutho's innovations, such as being the first to use reinforced concrete in Southern high-rises, and his long-standing civic efforts to improve Jacksonville's riverfront and traffic problems.

Good condition. Dust jacket corners reinforced with clear tape. Previous owner's association statement written to the front fly leaf. Solid book with shelf wear.
