From the jacket:

Building for a Century is the history of the Duluth Builders’ Exchange—a celebration of its 100th anniversary. It is a chronicle of the lives and accomplishments of thousands of men and women who honed their trade in the building industry… Maurer has done a beautiful job of weaving biographical and historical information while introducing trivia of the times. Robin Bruelheide captures the essence of Tracy’s prose with his ground and aerial photography. Building for a Century is an excellent book for anyone interested in regional history, architecture and what can be accomplished when industries work together for the common good and the betterment of their community.
