Urban Alphabet

Urban Alphabet is an illustrated dictionary detailing the work of C. Emlen Urban, the architectural legend who left an indelible and distinctive mark on the City of Lancaster a century ago. The author, Gregory J. Scott, FAIA, connects each letter of the alphabet to the architectural term for a detail or style of architecture common to Urban’s buildings.

Urban Alphabet is the second book in a series created by Scott to foster an appreciation and understanding of the inspired work of Lancaster’s most prolific architect.

Urban Alphabet can be enjoyed as a companion book to Urban Legend or as an independent resource to assist in further appreciating and understanding the beauty of C. Emlen Urban’s work. The 26 easy-to-understand narratives written by author Gregory Scott are supported by the photography of Matthew Tennison and a design layout by Fig Industries.
