Description 
Subtitle: A case study of problems of urban development in nineteenth-century America. From the author, Edmund H. Chapman, in his introduction: "This study is concerned with the development of a characteristic American town in the first three-quarters of the 19th century. Two related things are involved: the design of the town as a whole; the terrain upon which it was laid; the tradition which directed the plan; and the many forces which shaped its growth. Secondly, there are the buildings which arose upon this plan: the skills and materials which shaped them; the styles from which they derived; and the many components of the culture which changed their character as the town prospered and developed.
