Mary Colter: Architect of the Southwest

This extraordinary book is about an extraordinary woman.  It weaves together three stories - the early twentieth-century career of a woman in what was then a man's profession; the creation of a building and interior style drawn from regional history and landscape;and the exploitation of the American Southwest, largely at the hands of the railroads, for leisure travel. 

Beautifully illustrated, this book offers the first in-depth look at Mary Colter, whose life and work continue to awe and inspire.
