Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. An exquisitely photographed collection of the great houses and mansions of the South. In the tradition of Rizzolis Historic Houses of the Hudson Valley and Great Houses of New England, Great Houses of the South features a stunning array of newly photographed homes that range over three centuries and are distinctive examples of the architecture of the region. While in popular imagination the "Southern Style" is embodied in the classic Southern plantation house with its Greek Revival detailingits stately white columns, wide porch, and symmetrical shapethe houses themselves are much more various and engaging, as shown in this important volume. From stately Stanton Hall of Natchez, Mississippi, one of the most magnificent and palatial residences of antebellum America; to Longue Vue House and Gardens of New Orleans, the luxurious Classical Revivalstyle home of Edgar and Edith Stern; to the fabled Biltmore of Asheville, North Carolina, the opulent French Renaissanceinspired chateau and Gilded Age estate of George Washington Vanderbilt, this lavish volume is comprehensive in scope and a landmark work of enduring interest to homeowners, architects, architecture historians, and all those who love fine architecture. "The 'great house' of the South inhabits a place of the imagination as much as it does any particular geographic terrain. Margaret Mitchell's Tara from 'Gone with the Wind', though fictional, stands even now for many Americans as the epitome of the type, with its stately white-columned porticos, shady verandahs, and elegant interiors with graceful proportions. Yet the Southern great house is much more than this. From the bookish if slightly irregular Neoclassicism of Mount Vernon to the aristocratic European splendor of Biltmore, Great Houses of the South documents through vibrant new photography the many manifestations that this mythic, highly individualized architecture has taken while richly nuanced text narrates a great American story of tradition, aspiration and reinvention."--Front flap.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Hardcover in Fine condition in a fine dust jacket, large 4to, 320 pages. In original shrink wrap. More than 200 full-color illustrations from photographs. Bookseller accession no.: 25937. Extra postage may be required for this large, heavy volume. From a review by Clem Labine in Traditional Building Magazine, NOV 17, 2015, "In the effort to restore John Carrère and Thomas Hastings to their rightful place in the pantheon of early-20th century American architects, this monograph presents 27 of the firm's masterworks of the Gilded Age, including the firm's towering achievement - The New York Public Library. But the firm created many other American landmarks to which their names are rarely attached. Between 1885 and 1924 the firm designed hotels, retail and office buildings, country estates, elaborate townhouses, theaters, institutional buildings, churches, monuments and exhibitions in major cities that included New York, Washington, London, Paris, Rome and Havana. … the authors furnish rich descriptions of the basic characteristics of the structures along with vivid details of the circumstances of their construction. This gorgeous volume shows us a bygone age when creating beauty in the built environment was a main desideratum - and Beaux-Arts scientific rationalism provided the tools for achieving that lofty goal.…
