About This Item
New York: Rizzoli, 1998. Hardcover. Good+/Good+, the inner hinge paper is cleanly broken BUT the hinge cloth is still firm, so the cover is still tight and firm. A few tiny dings to edges of dustjacket. Contents VG+. Burgundy cloth boards with stamped lettering. Glossy color-photographic dust jacket with black and red lettering, 252 pp., color illustrations throughout. With nearly one thousand commissions executed between 1879 and 1912, McKim, Mead & White was the architectural firm of choice of the most prestigious projects of the era, including the redesign of the White House and the Mall in Washington, D.C., and the campuses of Harvard and Columbia Universities. Among its residential clients were many of the most powerful figures of the Gilded Age-Vanderbilts, Whitneys, Pulitzers-for whom the firm built splendid summer cottages in Newport and throughout Long Island and the Hudson valley and sumptuous town houses in Boston, Washington, Baltimore and New York. More than thirty houses are presented here, their exteriors and interiors elegantly recorded in new color photographs. -Publisher's description.
