In this magnificent volume, authors Winfrey Blackburn and R. Scott Gill present readers a comprehensive appreciation of Hammon's work, with virtually every Hammon home in Kentucky described (including floor plans) and photographed in gorgeous detail.

The book features a thoughtful introduction by renowned architectural critic Richard Guy Wilson, and the images of award-winning photographer John Nation.
