Charles Belfoure’s non-fiction books reflect his career as a practicing architect and historian specializing in historic preservation. Starting with Baltimore Rowhouse in 1997, he has published five works that document the architectural heritage of Baltimore and the broader American landscape. His subjects range from individual architects, such as Niernsee and Neilson and Edmund G. Lind, to broader surveys like Monuments to Money: The Architecture of American Banks.
These books are grounded in detailed research and a professional understanding of building design, construction, and preservation. The Azola Legacy, published in 2018, chronicles fifty years of rebuilding efforts in Baltimore, tying together many of the themes that run through Belfoure’s earlier non-fiction. For readers who appreciate the architectural detail in his novels, these works provide the scholarly foundation behind his fiction writing.
