Andrew Johnson Architect

This book is about Andrew Johnson, a Swedish immigrant who came to America in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. He migrated to North Mississippi. In less than five years he became a noted architect who changed the architectural style of that region by designing intricately detailed houses, buildings, and churches. Many of these structures still grace the landscape of North Mississippi over a hundred years later. Johnson built more than 77 structures, 21 of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. These houses and buildings are a testament to the artistry and skill of this Swedish immigrant. The book features beautiful photographs of the homes, churches, and buildings on the National Register of Historic Places as well as a complete biography of Johnson.
