Paperback. Condition: Near fine. Quarto with glossy black and white pictorial wraps; 141 pages: illustrations; index; 28 cm. "Ornamental ironwork is an important but often overlooked feature of nineteenth and early twentieth century architecture. Iron fences, balconies, window grilles, roof crestings, stairways, and storefronts protect, support and add character to buildings great and small. Because decorative ironwork usually appears on prominent facades or in accessible interiors, it stands much like a collection of public sculpture, freely available for the examination and enjoyment of all passersby. This book opens up a fascinating new world of highly skilled craftsmanship. It explains how to distinguish between wrought and cast iron and points out the many motifs that master ironworkers created. It reveals how early blacksmiths fashioned delicate railings to grace Federal-style residences and how foundries turned out thousands of prefabricated iron building parts that were at once economical and decorative. Many readers will be intrigued by the stunning ironwork inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement."--Back cover.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. [NEW YORK]. John G. Waite. "New York's Tweed Courthouse: Reclaiming a Civic Monument." Albany and New York: John G. Waite Associates and Mount Ida Press. Printed by Fort Orange Press, 2001. First edition. English language. Stapled softcover booklet with full-color pictorial card wrappers. Nonfiction architectural text showcasing the Tweed building's history and restoration with full-color illustrations. 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. 3 oz. 16 pp. Minor shelf-wear and short creases need spine starting. Text clean. Very Good Plus. No ISBN. No ASIN. "Tweed Courthouse is the legacy of Tammany Hall boss William M. Tweed, who used the construction of the building to embezzle large sums from the budget. Boss Tweed was tried in 1873 in an unfinished courtroom in this building and was convicted and jailed. After the Tweed Ring was broken up, work stopped on the building from 1872 to 1876. Construction progressed slowly after the Tweed years, and it was not until 1881 that the building was finally completed. In 1999, a comprehensive restoration began to return Tweed to its original grandeur. The front staircase, which had been removed in 1940 to widen Chambers Street, was reconstructed. The restoration also included the reapplication of the historic paint scheme, which includes faux brick painting and gold leaf appliquee. Today, Tweed is home to the Department of Education.".…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Gift inscribed and signed by author When Roger and Peggy Gerry arrived in Roslyn, New York, in 1951, the modern world was washing across Long Island the postwar building boom, the family cars, the Robert Moses parkways and beaches relentlessly eroding its original character. Chance and topography had protected the sleepy village of Roslyn from overwhelming growth, but the Gerrys knew that in the decades to come, the pressure could only increase. This handsomely illustrated book tells how Roger and Peggy Gerry were the heart of what became a sophisticated and successful enterprise that protected the architectural heritage of Roslyn village. For nearly fifty years the Gerrys employed the full array of their impressive skills and resources: involving themselves in local planning and government, forming organizations, buying and restoring buildings, and attracting and engaging like-minded others to join them. Few Long Island villages have kept the distinctness of character that now sets Roslyn apart. The survival of Roslyn's architectural and cultural landscape is not a matter of luck. It was the result of Roger and Peggy Gerry's single-minded commitment to a preserved village of Roslyn. The Gerrys' work in Roslyn demonstrates how very much two ardent people can do with their lives, and the difference those lives can make in a town. By analyzing the Gerrys' undeniable success, this book suggests that some others of us just might be able to do something important in our own chosen places. Black & White Photos (illustrator).
