This work, authored by Deborah Stephens Burns and published by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in 2000, serves as a comprehensive reference guide documenting Pennsylvania's architectural heritage. The book draws from the Historic American Buildings Survey, a major documentation project that has systematically recorded significant structures across the United States. Burns presents an organized catalog of Pennsylvania buildings that have been surveyed and documented, covering various architectural styles, periods, and building types that represent the state's built environment. The volume provides information about structures ranging from colonial-era homes to nineteenth-century industrial buildings, capturing the diversity of Pennsylvania's architectural traditions. By cataloging these properties with accompanying data and descriptions, the book functions as both a historical resource and a preservation tool. The survey documentation helps establish which structures merit consideration for historical protection and rehabilitation. This publication is directed toward architectural historians, preservationists, educators, students, and anyone interested in understanding Pennsylvania's material culture and the evolution of its built landscape. Burns's work contributes to the broader scholarly conversation about American architectural history by making detailed survey information accessible in a single organized reference
