George Washington Smith: An Architect's Scrapbook

Spanish Colonial Revival

Culled from the remains of an original scrapbook comes a long overdue publication of the work of an architect who all but defined the Spanish Colonial Revival of the early twentieth century.

Magazine articles and photographs

Containing magazine articles and photographs published during Smith's lifetime, this book is an essential addition to the library of any student, practioner or afficionado of Southern California Architecture. It also contains a brief introduction written by Marc Appleton.
This is a thoughtful, sincere book, and a delightful insight into the period.
