Martha J. McNamara. From Tavern to Courthouse: Architecture and Ritual in American Law, 1658–1860. (Creating the North American Landscape.) Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press with the Center for American Places, Santa Fe, N.M. 2004. Pp. xv, 162. $39.95.

McNamara looks at the public spaces created by lawyers and architects in Massachusetts from the late seventeenth through the early nineteenth centuries. With a rich attention to detail and a wonderful sympathy for buildings as artifacts, McNamara adds much to historians' understanding of the built environment as a cultural phenomenon.
