Isaiah Rogers: Architectural Practice in Antebellum America

by James F. O'Gorman

When Isaiah Rogers died in 1869, the Cincinnati Daily Times noted that "in his profession he was, perhaps, better known than any other person in the country." Yet until now there has been no study that fully examines his remarkable, influential, and instructive career. Based largely on Rogers's own diary, this book tells his story and adds much to our understanding of architectural practice in the United States before the Civil War.
