Regional/Architecture

“Minnesota’s churches-from mighty urban cathedrals to tiny wooden structures built on lonely hilltops by immigrant carpenters-constitute a living legacy of architecture and faith. Alan Lathrop’s expert guide, illustrated with Bob Firth’s handsome photographs, offers an impressive documentation of this heritage. Anyone interested in the architecture or history of Minnesota will want to own this book.” Larry Millett

Alan K. Lathrop is professor and curator of the Northwest Architectural Archives, University of Minnesota Libraries. He has written numerous publications on regional architecture, including articles for Architecture Minnesota and Minnesota History.

Bob Firth is the owner of Firth Photobank in Carver, Minnesota. He has published a book of photographs, with text by Bill Holm, titled Landscape of Ghosts.
