Who was Elizabeth Mills Brown?
Elizabeth Mills "Betty" Brown was a prominent American architectural historian, preservationist, and civic leader who lived in New Haven and Guilford, Connecticut.
She was the author of New Haven: A Guide to Architecture and Urban Design, a meticulosly-researched volume which details over 500 structures in that 400-year-old city. New Haven: A Guide has been reprinted many times and is widely considered to be the best source of information on New Haven's architectural history and urbanism. The book called the landmark New Haven Coliseum building, which was new at the time, a structure of "gigantic scale" that gave spectators an "experience of sheer spatial intoxication."
