In his new two-volume history, Architecture in Indianapolis, 1820-1920, architectural historian and historic preservation consultant James A. Glass explores the rich variety of architectural styles that appeared during Indianapolis' first century, describes buildings that illustrate those themes, and discusses the evolution of an architectural profession in the city. The book is appearing in two volumes: Volume 1 will cover architecture between 1820 and 1900, and Volume 2 will cover the period between 1900 and 1920. The two volumes will be illustrated with over 660 photographs and drawings, and maps will locate buildings discussed. In addition, readers can refer to architect profiles on the principal architects of the first century, an architectural style guide, and an architectural glossary. The book is being published by Indiana University Press, which will release Volume 1 in October of 2024 and Volume 2 in the spring of 2025.
