"An impressive sampling of the vanished buildings of the Twin Cities,
tracing their history and including information on who the owners and
architects were, how these structures were used, why they were torn
down, and what occupies each site today. Highly recommended." --Library
Journal
Lost Twin Cities is an architectural and social history of the downtowns
of St. Paul and Minneapolis. The richly illustrated text emphasizes the
growth and development of the two downtowns in the nineteenth century
and their subsequent alteration by urban renewal and other forces of
change in the twentieth century.
