Synopsis

George Washington knew little of architecture when he planned and built Mount Vernon, but he did know what he wanted in a home.

Revue de presse

George Washington's Mount Vernon, the husband-and-wife collaboration of Robert and Lee Dalzell, is a lovely book...as much about the builder, the foremost Founding Father, as about his house. There are insights in it about the character of George Washington that don't emerge from the rest of the Washington literature, vast as the corpus is. (Eric L. McKitrick, The New York Review of Books)
