The Brochure Series of Architectural Illustration, vol. 06, No. 01, January 1900 / The Ten Most Beautiful Buildings in the United States.

This illustrated issue combines plates and concise descriptive text to survey notable architecture, ornament, furniture, and gardens from the United States and abroad. It reports the results of a readers' vote naming ten favored American buildings and includes a scholarly commentary placing those selections in context. Illustrated examples range from cathedrals and chateaux to garden fountains, Japanese garden layouts, carved woodwork, wrought-iron screens, and selected works by Sir Christopher Wren. Plates, plans, and captions emphasize elevations and decorative detail while the accompanying prose outlines selection criteria, stylistic features, and comparative observations across regions.
