Book excerpt: Exploring the pre-Civil War architecture of the 19th century in Volume 2, Pierson traces the evolution of two distinct styles--the "corporate," first seen in the chaste, brick buildings of early Boston, and the "early Gothic Revival," which brought new vitality to American religious and domestic architecture--in the works of Ithiel Town, Richard Upjohn, James Renwick, A.J. Davis, and Andrew Jackson Downing.
