sites from mining boomtowns, ranches, the transportation industry, the divorce and gaming industries, the New Deal and other programs, the tourism industry, and the current postmodern era, such
as schools, hospitals, museums, courthouses, opera houses, depots, churches, libraries, firehouses, houses, and hotels. B&w photos are included. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland,
