About
"During a period of rapid growth in Portland, after the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition and before the Great Depression, Albert E. Doyle was the city's most important architect. Beauty of the City is the first full-length biography of this celebrated architect. Doyle's career was short, just twenty-one years. Yet everywhere Portland retains his imprint. Using A.E. Doyle's own diaries and letters and his firm's records, Philip Niles traces the architect's life and times in the context of the burgeoning cityscape."--Jacket.
