An Illustrated History
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Courier Dover Publications, 1992 - Architecture - 186 pages
In this handsome, lavishly illustrated volume, a noted New York architect and architectural historian provides detailed and thoughtful mini-histories of a roster of apartment houses that cater to the well-to-do. Included are such stately residential structures as the Gramercy, the dowager queen of co-op apartments; the fashionably flamboyant Ansonia; the dramatic Hotel des Artistes and the classical, triple-towered Beresford. Also documented here are Joseph Pulitzer's palatial residence, designed by McKim, Mead and White; magnficent Park Avenue apartments, including a multi-floored maisonette apartment once desired by Imelda Marcos; and scores of other luxurious lodgings.
