A Monograph of the Work of McKim, Mead and White, 1879-1915

About the Item

A Monograph of the Work of McKim, mead and white, 1879-1915; new edition, four volumes in one with an essay by Leland Roth. Arno Press NY, 1977. The firm, headed by Charles Follen McKim, William Rutherford Mead, and Stanford White are responsible for a number of America's iconic buildings including Pennsylvania Station in New York City, the Boston Public Library, the Harvard Club, Rhode Island State Capitol, etc. Their work applied the principles of Beaux-Arts architecture, the adoption of the Classical Greek and Roman stylistic vocabulary as filtered through the Parisian Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and the related City Beautiful movement after 1893 or so. Its vision was to clean up the visual confusion of American cities and imbue them with a sense of order and formality during America's Gilded Age.
