The Architecture of Warren & Wetmore

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
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.
