Synopsis
Set amid the imperial extravagances of the American Renaissance to the Roaring Twenties (1890-1935), an era redolent with the well-publicised achievements of such famed designers as Stanford White, Richard Morris Hunt, Carrere & Hastings and John Russell Pope, it astounds one to learn that the one authentic genius among them was a publicity-shy Philadelphian without any kind of social connections whose formal education did not extend beyond the 10th grade. Yet the supremacy of Horace Trumbauer in the field of classically inspired residential design is acknowledged by such diverse voices as art connoisseur Joseph Duveen, modernist icon Phillip Johnson, and author-social critic Aldous Huxley. Originally published in 2002, 'American Splendor: The Residential Architecture of Horace Trumbauer' is the first and only extensive study of this master creator of the American Great House. This revised edition features three new chapters and over 50 new colour photographs.

Binding tight and solid. Horace Trumbauer (1868-1938) was one of the most influential residential architects in the country house era that lasted from the late 19th century to 1930. His restrained limestone palaces and townhouses for the super rich defined a new elegance in American cities and seaside resorts. A publicity-shy Philadelphian without social connections and only 10th grade education, Trumbauer opened his own practice, at the age of 21. Within just a few years he was on his way to becoming a leading practitioner of residential design on the grandest scale. No American builder in the first three decades of the 20th century could equal Trumbauer s output in the sheer number and splendor of his commissions. His large mansions were typically designed in English or French taste, and whether they were in the Whitemarsh Valley outside Philadelphia or new the ocean in Newport, Rhode Island, Trumbauer s houses had the imposing aristocratic demeanor his clients sought. ; 9.25 X 1.25 X 12 inches; 334 pages.
