Description
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1974,
Architecture of Middle Tennessee quickly became a record of some of the region's most important and most endangered buildings. This new, expanded edition contains all the original text and images from the first volume, plus many of the forgotten archived materials collected by HABS in the 1970s.
