Description
Rockitecture is a journey of the building and endurance of Southern California's river rock homes, churches, castles, waiting stations, and water troughs-architecture crafted from the Golden State's indigenous, natural materials during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The book explores the foothills, alluvial fans, and new towns where these masterpieces were made, the men who made them, and the lessons we can learn. It celebrates and pays tribute to history, ancestors, native landscapes, and craftsmanship that endures for generations.
