Through over 1000 images and detailed text, explore the major civic architectural achievements, including the Beaux Arts styles Administration Building and Prado, Gorgas Hospital, Balboa School, YMCA, Union Church, and the Panama Railway Station. Residential architecture is also looked at, including the re-purposing of the French structures that remained from France's efforts to construct a sea level canal, and the permanent concrete block, mid-century houses built for employees and their families. An array of renowned American architects and architectural practices created these civic and residential structures, including James Renwick, Jr., Austin W. Lord, Bertram Goodhue, Delano \u0026amp; Aldrich, Edward Durell Stone, and Skidmore, Owings \u0026amp; Merrill. This book is a great resource for architecture and history lovers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Crouch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764346113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764346118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.20h x 9.10w x 1.90d","brand":"Edith Crouch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447771410687,"sku":"9780764346118","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3aa44949-a2e4-41a7-9fc5-294508632f92.jpg?v=1777234699","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/architecture-of-the-panama-canal-edith-crouch-9780764346118","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
