Featured Book – The Architecture of James H. Johnson
Copies of the State-wide award-winning study of architect James H. Johnson, sponsored by the Greece Historical Society, are now available to the public.
The Architecture of James H. Johnson documents the life and work of Rochester, New York’s most innovative 20th Century architect. In a career spanning nearly 60 years, Johnson designed hundreds of buildings in the greater Rochester area. Johnson’s daring, expressive designs remain some of the boldest and most creative contributions to the region’s architectural heritage. He is known locally as the designer of Rochester’s Liberty Pole, the Antell-Whitman House (better known as the “Mushroom House”) in Perinton, St. John the Evangelist Church in Greece, and Temple Sinai in Brighton. His other works are not generally well-known, nor is the sheer number of buildings he designed appreciated by either the general public or the architectural community. This 170-page book includes 165 color and black-and-white images and brings to light the work of this talented man. The price is $35.00 at our museum shop or $40.00 by mail/ Price includes tax and shipping/handling. Supply is limited. To order multiple copies of this book, please contact greecehistoricalsociety@yahoo.com.
In May 2012, Mr. Johnson spoke at St John the Evangelist Church about his career as part of our Tuesday evening lecture series. A recording of that talk is available on the “Archive Program” section of our website. www.greecehistoricalsociety.org
