Más información sobre el libro

Darius Bartlett Moon, a self-taught architect from 19th century Michigan, exemplifies the Renaissance man through his diverse talents and contributions. Initially a carpenter, he transitioned into architecture, driven by firsthand experiences of design flaws. His demanding nature on construction sites often led to injuries, a rarity for architects of his time. Moon's personal life flourished with his marriage to Ellen Sprague and their four children. His legacy includes notable homes in Lansing, some still standing, alongside a passion for writing poetry and prose.
