Editorial Reviews
Book Description
From the golden age of American architecture comes this splendid survey, documenting scores of masterpieces built between 1900 and 1930. Designs of the highest quality and most originality, chosen by a jury of distinguished architects, represent the greatest achievements in memorials, museums, churches, and more. Each structure is introduced with notes from its architect; more than 260 illustrations include plans, sections, exterior and interior details, and photographs. A sampling of featured buildings (and architects) include: Lincoln Memorial (Henry Bacon), Boston Public Library (McKim, Mead & White), Tribune Tower (John Mead Howells and Raymond M. Hood), Woolworth Building (Cass Gilbert), and The Temple of the Scottish Rite (John Russell Pope).
