内容简介 The first study of a bold, prolific, controversial, early twentieth-century architectural firm.

At the turn of the twentieth century, when American architecture blossomed in the spirit of the City Beautiful movement, Beaux-Arts-trained Whitney Warren and lawyer Charles D. Wetmore put their stamp on New York City with Grand Central Terminal. Their mansions, clubs, hotels, apartment houses, and office buildings were powerful emblems of the era. 32 pages of color, 240 duotone photographs.
作者简介 Peter Pennoyer, is the principal of the eponymous architecture firm that has a national practice in classical and traditional architecture. Pennoyer and his twenty associates have designed houses and institutional projects from New York to California. The firm's work is recognized for combining an inventive spirit with an erudite grasp of architectural history and has been widely published and exhibited. Pennoyer serves on the boards of the Institute for Classical Architecture and Classical America, the Municipal Art Society, the Morgan Library, and the Whiting Foundation. He is the co-author of The Architecture of Delano & Aldrich. Anne Walker, holds a master's degree in historic preservation from Columbia University. She is the co-author of The Ford Plantation Architectural Pattern Book and The Architecture of Delano & Aldrich.
