Riassunto

The elegant houses designed by Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene have come to define the Arts and Crafts movement in the United States. Featuring 25 of the brothers' consummate houses, this book is a tour of some of America's most exquisite homes presenting the brother's most important works. The author surveys masterpieces produced by the firm from the turn of the century to the 1920s. A number of the houses shown are presented for the first time after careful restoration. Arts and Crafts expert Bruce Smith records the details - entrances, art glass, lighting, staircases, wood joinery, fireplaces and more - that illustrate the evolution of the Greenes' hallmark style. Alexander Vetikoff's photographs capture the houses' formal grace and exquisite colours.
