Mayors, Merchants, Masons, Architects, Brewers and Blacksmiths are but a few of the lives that are touched on in this special book. A compellation of a weekly article written by local historian P. Seth Magosky, this book promises to become a special source for not only the local community, but also a view of social and architectural trends of the 19th and early 20th centuries.Rarely does such a book exist that brings together the architecture and lives of those who built them.
