| Summary: | "Between 1894 and 1929, Fischer was responsible for constructing more than 300 houses and apartment buildings in St. Louis and nearby University City, Missouri. His trademark was the broken frieze, whose wreaths and swags descend into the spaces between upper-story windows, rather than extending straight across the facade below the cornice, as is traditional... Featuring more than 500 images and a full-color foldout map showing all of Fischer's homes, this book at last brings attention to a builder who quietly shaped a midwestern metropolis"--Page [4] of cover.
