Developments in factory buildings and works during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries reflect a subtle relationship between function and aesthetics. This aspect of the industrialization of the United States is traced in Betsy Hunter Bradley's The Works: The Industrial Architecture of the United States (Oxford University Press, £37.50, $45). Above is a 1919 construction photograph of the foundry building of the Westinghouse Electric Company.
