Includes biographies by Margit Varga of each of the artists whose work is reproduced. OCLC Number:280081. .Signed by the San Francisco architect Timothy L. Pflueger, the original owner: Born and raised in San Francisco's Mission… District, Timothy Pflueger became one of the region's most prominent architects working in the historic Beaux-Arts style. With no formal education in architecture, he worked his way up at the firm of Miller & Colmesnil, becoming a partner at age 33 (at which point the firm changed its name to J. R. Miller & T. L. Pflueger, Architects).Together, Pflueger and Miller designed several architectural landmarks in San Francisco, including the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building at 140 New Montgomery Street (1925) and the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange Building at 301 Pine Street (1930).

Contact seller5-star sellerVintage photograph of architect Timothy L. Pflueger, civil engineer Charles H. Purcell, editor and writer Rob Wagner, and photographer Walter G. Swanson, standing at the base of the then-incipient San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, circa 1935. Annotations in manuscript ink and pencil on the verso. Purcell and Pflueger both oversa…w the construction of the Bay Bridge-Purcell being the Chief Engineer, and Pflueger serving on the committee of architects for the project. Rob L. Wagner is best remembered today as the editor and publisher of "Script," a left-leaning, weekly literary film magazine published in Beverly Hills between 1929 and 1949. A lifelong Socialist and advocate for progressive causes, Wagner used "Script" to give a voice to blacklisted screenwriters (including Dalton Trumbo and Gordon Kahn) and prominent leftists, including Upton Sinclair, Max Eastman, and William C. deMille. While Wagner's involvement with Pflueger, Purcell, and Swanson is unclear, it is evident that Wagner maintained many connections with powerful leaders in California. 10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, lightly worn at the right corners.

Add to basketCondition: Very good plus. First printing. First edition of this tribute to the iconic San Francisco skyscraper, designed by architect Timothy Pflueger with Mayan-inspired motifs - completed on October 15, 1929, just in time for the stock market crash two weeks later. The 450 Sutter project was the "brainchild of an eccentric de…ntist and Renaissance man," Francis Edward Morgan Jr., who was described by his daughter as "a cartoonist, jig dancer, promoter, architect, rhymester, and a perfectionist as a dentist" (Poletti). Pflueger's design incorporated office suites optimized for medical use and exteriors aesthetically modeled on ancient Mayan design elements, as well as lace-like metal and terracotta detailing and an immense marble-walled lobby - all pictured here with Garren's glowing commentary on "METAL UNTO ART." One of the last skyscrapers built in San Francisco until the 1950s, "still heralded as one of the most inventive buildings of its time" (Poletti). 12'' x 9''. Original pictorial brown wrappers with cover illustration by Herbert Ridelstein. Silver metallic endpapers. Black and white photographs throughout by Gabriel Moulin and Roger Sturtevant. Printed by the Mercury Press, engravings by Sterling Engraving Company. 38, [2] pages. Light edgewear and soil, a few tiny closed tears, minor dampstaining to top edge.
