DISCUSSION: "A complete and richly illustrated biography, with a careful
study of Bulfinch's architecture and its' development" (Hamlin, 'Greek
Revival Architecture').

"Charles Bulfinch [1763-1844] was an early American architect, and has
been regarded by many as the first native-born American to practice
architecture as a profession. Bulfinch split his career between his
native Boston and Washington, D.C., where he served as Commissioner of
Public Building and built the intermediate United States Capitol rotunda
and dome. His works are notable for their simplicity, balance, and good
taste, and as the origin of a distinctive Federal style of classical
domes, columns, and ornament that dominated early 19th-century American
architecture".
