- Summary:
- "The tale of three architects who shaped and altered the stories of three historic American structures--the Henry Knox Museum in Maine, Fraunces Tavern in New York City, and the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia. The book takes its title from the preservation missteps and preconceptions of those involved, and through drawings, ephemera, and imaginings considers the narratives of history we create through architecture. A book of imagined architectures by Annie Coggan, with text by Mark Hage, The Book of Errors invites us to new possibilities that may or may not have happened, but that become stories of our mind, each in our unique way"-- Provided by publisher.
- Notes:
- Architects involved with the three buildings were Jane Watts, Henry Knox, William Mersereau, and R. Brognard Okie.
