"An extraordinary collection of watercolours painted in the late 1980s, many of downtown buildings and houses that have since been demolished, and others that are doomed by the changing nature and growth of the city... Accompanying the watercolours is a text of historical anecdote and architectural information, supplemented by photographs of similar designs from old architectural pattern books, and of the city itself in a less frantic age...
