Organized in a series of walking tours and including over 100 photographs, this guide reveals the stories behind over 80 historic and contemporary campus buildings, gardens, and works of sculpture, as well as a sampling of architecturally significant landmarks in the surrounding town.

Major works by architects McKim Mead & White, William A. Potter, R.H. Robertson, John McComb Jr, Hugh Stubbins, Machado Silvetti, I.M. Pei, Marcel Breuer, and Venturi Scott Brown, as well as sculpture of such notables as Daniel Chester French, Pablo Picasso and David Smith are presented.
