Buildings of the United States

Buildings of the United States is a multi-volume series of illustrated reference works.

The series is sponsored by the Society of Architectural Historians, having established its editorial board, consisting of academics and representatives of the National Park Service, the Library of Congress, and the American Institute of Architects.

As of 2012,[update] the head of the editorial committee is Professor Emerita at Tulane University, Karen Kingsley, Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor.

Work on the series was inspired by Nikolaus Pevsner's Buildings of England guidebooks.
