Alexander Girard, Architect: Creating Midcentury Modern Masterpieces

Alexander Girard, Architect (Wayne State University Press) focuses on the titular designer’s work in Detroit, and especially the inventive midcentury modern houses he developed for the previously “ultra-traditional” neighborhood of Grosse Pointe. The book contains some of his original drawings, as well as detailed color photographs of the McLucas house, his only remaining solo work in Detroit.
