Stevens was a noted regional architect, with an early specialization in shingle buildings. His career lasted decades beyond the shingle phase, and that part is less well known. This book tries to fill that gap. The text is thorough and appreciative of Stevens as an architect and as a Maine man. The book is given extra ‘sauce’ by the inclusion of wonderful photos of buildings across the 4 decades covered. Stevens understood the value of fine photography in reaching his monied audience, so he hired the great photographer Thomas Ellison for visual proof.
More generally, it is an admirable drive that humans feel to document their history and to recover the names of the formerly known but now forgotten. There is a constant undercurrent of historical recovery going on literally everywhere. Hurrah, then, for Stevens the 2d, Shettleworth, their supporters and Harp Publications.
Condition: Very Good in all aspects.
