This volume examines Gilbert's work in five unique categories: the building of a national practice, an evaluation of his Minnesota State Capitol as "a defining moment" in American civic architecture, his New York career, his response to civic ideals in his plans for towns and universities, and his work in the public domain.
"A considerable feat of scholarship…what makes this book special are a number of unusual perspectives it offers…an extremely important book on a leading American architect that has contemporary relevance as well." -- Richard Guy Wilson - APT Bulletin
"This fine volume is a worthy addition…providing a richly detailed picture of a too long neglected American architect." -- Elizabeth Meredith Dowling, Georgia Institute of Technology - JSAH
