Description
James Fitch shows how American architecture displays qualities which can safely be described as typically American. There are many areas in which our architecture is distinguishable from that of the rest of the world. The single family house, for example, shares with its foreign contemporaries the basic elements of plan, and yet the way in which these elements are organized into a whole gives our houses certain qualities which we can call uniquely American.
