Lu Donnelly, an architectural historian who writes a regular column entitled ""Architecture Around Us"" in Western Pennsylvania History magazine, is the author of several books and National Register nominations on Allegheny County topics and organized an exhibition on barns of western Pennsylvania for the Heinz Architectural Center at the Carnegie Museum of Art. H. David Brumble IV, an alumnus of the University of Pittsburgh, is a realtor in North Carolina. Franklin Toker is Professor of the History of Art and Architecture at the University of Pittsburgh and the author of a number of books, including Pittsburgh: An Urban Portrait, Fallingwater Rising: Frank Lloyd Wright, E. J. Kaufmann, and America's Most Extraordinary House, and Buildings of Pittsburgh.
It is [the] mix of social, cultural and architectural history that makes the book so valuable and such an irresistible invitation to exploration. Ms. Donnelly and her collaborators have more than made sense of the luxuriant jumble; they have given us, as they promised and in one magnificent volume, a comprehensive framework for understanding and appreciating it.--Patricia Lowry "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"
