Description
Along Route 66 documents the architectural styles found along America's most famous road. From Chicago to Santa Monica, this book explores the buildings and people that made up the culture of the Mother Road.
The story behind these structures is one of opportunity and resilience. Built between 1926 and 1956, many people from the southern and plains states settled along Route 66, creating a unique blend of regional building traditions and practical solutions to the challenges of the time.
With striking black-and-white images and unforgettable oral histories, Quinta Scott brings this rapidly disappearing architecture to life. This book is a fascinating look at the people and places that shaped America's iconic road.
