Summary
"From 1893 until 1905 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania required local municipalities to record vital statistics such as births, deaths, and cases of infectious disease. The record for the community of Columbia, Lancaster County, Pa., survives in the county archives and is a valuable record of one community's struggle to contain diseases that are seldom encountered today: smallpox, scarlet fever, typhoid fever, diphtheria, and tuberculosis. Within these pages, one can learn about the diseases and the treatments available in that time period and meet the physicians and community leaders who were in the front lines of the sturggle."

Summary
Book provides reader with a short biography of Urban. A brief description of the red brick architectural appearance of Lancaster up to 1880s. Urban's designs changed the colonial appearance of Lancaster because he had access to modern technology: structural steel, cast iron, plate glass which allowed him to design taller buildings with larger windows. Book identifies as Urban's designs: one market; one municipal building; two churches; three schools; four mansions (including Urban's home on Buchanan Ave). Each structure is identified with a description, location and year built; picture of structure; brief biography of person for whom building was named. One page provides the reader with architectural terms.Good reference book.
