This book is the first to focus on the residential work of McKim, Mead & White, one of America's best-known and most influential architecture firms. With nearly one thousand commissions executed between 1879 and 1912, the firm was clearly the architect of choice for the most prestigious projects of the era, and their work includes the redesign of the White House and the Mall in Washing-ton, D. C., the State Capitol of Rhode Island, the campuses of Harvard and Columbia Universities, the Boston Public Library, and the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York. Among their residential clients were many of the most powerful figures of the Gilded Age-Vanderbilts, Whitneys, Pulitzers for whom they built splendid summer cottages in Newport and throughout Long Island and the Hudson Valley and sumptuous town houses in Boston, Washington, Baltimore, and New York.
