Park and Recreation Structures by Albert H. Good (1999, Hardcover, Illustrated)

There is simply no other book quite like this. The era that defined the world-famous style of park architecture is extensively photographed with specific commentary for each illustration. Everything from buildings to gates, to water fountains and fire towers is covered in this reprint. The separate pieces that made up this book were originally envisioned as a means of furthering the propagation of well crafted, functional park elements for planners and work crews alike. If you are a fan of the "rustic", "lodge", or "parkitecture" schools of design this book is the source and captures the elements as they are being designed and refined. I love this book.
