About the Item

The Houses of McKim, Mead & White Hardcover Book. Rizzoli First Edition edition August 15 1998. With nearly 1,000 commissions executed between 1879 and 1912, McKim, Mead & White was the architectural firm of choice for the most prestigious projects of the beaux-arts era.In this condensed edition of the acclaimed Rizzoli original of 1998 the reader will find more than thirty houses presented, the exteriors and interiors of which have been elegantly recorded in lush color photographs by Jonathan Wallen.A practicing architect and great-grandson of Stanford White, author Samuel G. White was given unprecedented access to the great, private residential architecture of this legendary firm. 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. The book also provides the first look at the recent restoration of the Isaac Bell house in Newport and newly reinstalled Venetian room at the Payne Whitney house, now the French Cultural Services, in New York City. This book brings a unique perspective to these houses, offering us a privileged and rare look into this extraordinary body of work.
