Empire Builders is the first new biography of the Van Sweringen brothers in more than twenty years, and goes well beyond previous volumes, recounting what happened to their empire to this day. In it, architectural photographer and local history author Lauren R. Pacini tells the remarkable story of the Van Sweringen brothers through words and images. This richly illustrated volume features 180 maps, charts, and vintage and contemporary photographs of the still-fabulous historic homes, including those the brothers built for themselves.
