Congdon offers a detailed history of the Master Builders Exchange, a Philadelphia-based trade association that played a key role in promoting high standards in the building industry. He shows how the Exchange brought together architects, builders, and suppliers to advance the interests of the profession, and examines the challenges it faced in the rapidly changing economic and political environment of the late 19th century. A fascinating look at the development of a vital industry.
