Review # 1 was written on 2013-11-24 00:00:00 Stephen Winston An excellent overview of Detroit architecture from the city's founding in 1701 to 1980, when Ferry revised the book. The focus is on high architecture, so the approach is not comprehensive; but, at nearly 500 pages, Ferry has plenty of content. Historical research is incorporated in addition to architectural criticism. There are photos of most buildings discussed, as well as maps. The city takes center stage, although the metro area is included, too. Ferry covers Grosse Pointe at length (sadly, neglecting upscale Detroit neighborhoods like Indian Village and Boston Edison), and touches on suburban sprawl towards the end of the book.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-04-23 00:00:00 William Burke Rachel got me a copy of this behemoth as a gift earlier this year and I am still wading through its 500 pages with a fine tooth comb. It is a complete history of Detroit illustrated with tons of historic images and a fantastic narrative by W. Hawkins Ferry.
