Written by 100 experts ranging from architectural historians to archivists, this book contains 160 biographical, A-Z entries on African-American architects from the era of Emancipation to the end of World War II. Articles provide biographical facts about each architect, and commentary on his or her work. Includes bibliographical references and index. Jacksonville Black architects (either lived in Jacksonville or built a structure in Jax) included: Richard Brown (1854-1948) -- John Lankford (1874-1946) -- Joseph Haygood Blodgett 1858-1934)-- Sanford Brookins (1877-1968) -- William Cooke (1871-1949) -- James Hutchins (1890-1970) -- John Henry Rosemond.
