$35.00

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.

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.
