The book describes and shows plans of buildings and monuments, that were planned but never built, throughout the first two centuries of the history of the United States. Projects featured in book include rejects entries for building competitions like the New York Crystal Palace and the Chicago Tribune Tower and unrealized projects by architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Siah Armajani.
