Searching for Silsbee

An outlet for material I have uncovered in a quest to document the work of architect Joseph Lyman Silsbee. In the absence of a publisher, this is an effort to present that research to a broader public.

To date, over 400 buildings by Silsbee and his firms have been uncovered yet no monograph exists cataloging his work and life. In the process of preparing a monograph on Silsbee's work, I am blogging a sampling of these structures with some information about each and its context to help organize my thoughts. Comments and additional information on buildings and clients are always appreciated.
