Book SynopsisHow Andrew Thomas Taylor advanced the quality of architecture in Canada.
Trade Review"Thoroughly researched, well referenced, illustrated, and written, The Architecture of Andrew Thomas Taylor will be of great interest to historians of Montreal, Canada, and the social formation of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
