ArchitectureWeek Description
A survey of 30 disused and dilapidated structures in the United States, from boarded-up houses to rollercoaster skeletons. The author contrasts these structures at their peak of popularity with their current state of haunted decrepitude. His words and images reveal what lies beyond the gates and beneath the floorboards in prisons, factories, and entire towns. Amazon Customer Average Rating:
