4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting biography - but not an architectural history

As far as I know, this is the only book on the visionary architect Peter Ellis. It is not, and does not pretend to be, a book on his architecture. It traces his life, primarily through where he lived and illustrates many of his buildings, before and after his masterpieces of Oriel Chambers and 16 Cook Street. It is well illustrated with contemporary prints. It does not attempt to delve into how he came to design two of the most extraordinary buildings, 30 years ahead of their time. What were the influences on him, and how did he come to anticipate the work of the renowned Chicago Architects of the late 19th century? Criticism from the architectural establishment in Liverpool at the time seems to have discouraged him from designing any more such innovative buildings. For those seeking more information on the buildings, an article by Ignacio Fernandez Solla in 'Facades Confidential' June 2013 gives many interesting details of construction.
