The Sandstone Architecture of the Lake Superior Region

Eckert, Kathryn Bishop

From 1870 to 1910, the prosperity of the copper and iron mining, lumbering and shipping industries of the Lake Superior region created a demand for more substantial buildings. This book examines the region as a built environment and the efforts of architects and builders to use local red sandstone.
