Volume 5, The Impact of European Modernism in the Mid-Twentieth Century, examines the influence of European modernism on American architecture from 1930 to 1960. Generously illustrated on focused existing buildings, most of which are now open to the public, this volume offers valuable insights into the architecture that marked the beginning of America's modern era.

The pre-Civil War architecture of the nineteenth century was marked by the development of two distinct styles: the "corporate, " which originated in the chaste, brick buildings of early Boston, and the "early Gothic Revival, " which brought new vitality to American religious and domestic architecture. Pierson traces the evolution of these styles in the works of Ithiel Town, Richard Upjohn, James Renwick, A.J. Davis, and Andrew Jackson Downing.
