I am fascinated by the construction of buildings like Notre Dame before the advent of modern construction machines of today such as cranes. I have stood in front of St Patrick's in New York and marveled how a structure like that was built in the mid 1800's without the cranes and equipment we take for granted today

It's historical fiction, but you might enjoy Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth, which talks about building a giant cathedral in 12th Century England. The author provides interesting details about the building practices of that time.
