Greenfield, MA: Thomas Dickman, 1797.First edition of the first original American architecture book, in a contemporary sheep binding. Asher Benjamin began his career as an apprentice builder in Connecticut and left his distinctive mark on the architecture of New England in many notable houses, churches, and civic buildings.
