A book that studies the minor works of the American architects Henry Hobson Richardson (1838-1886) and Louis Henry Sullivan (1856-1923). Specifically, the rural libraries of the former and the local bank branches of the latter are analysed. Both professionals carry out a very personal way of working, autonomous from the European reference, which configures a properly American way of doing things. 173 p.: ill., photo, b/w, plants, 22x24 cm, paperback
