2019 Missouri State Resolution No. 527 recognizing Michael C. Kathrens for his published work and contribution to historic preservation, My job allows me to go to my favorite cities every year--Paris, Mexico City, São Paulo, Los Angeles--and, yes, Kansas City...I was whisked away to cruise around the city with native son (and one of my favorite authors) Michael C. Kathrens...While he's best known for his tomes on the great houses of New York City, Horace Trumbauer, and Newport, Kathrens' most charming work might be Kansas City Houses ... even though you likely won't be able to snag him as a guide, his beautiful book is a worthy substitute. Grab a copy, get in a car, and cruise by some of the most magnificent homes in the country. And, wow, what treasures his book brings out of this city's neighborhoods.

Synopsis
"And, wow, what treasures Michael Kathrens's beautiful book brings out of this city's neighborhoods... some of the most magnificent homes in the country." - William O'Connor, Daily Beast 2019 Osmund Overby Award, Missouri Alliance for Historic Preservation Back in stock March 2023! House lovers have cherished Michael C. Kathrens's survey of historic homes in Kansas City, another important volume documenting 19th- and early-20th-century high-end residential architecture in America. The third printing of Kansas City Houses is now available (coinciding with the release of Michael C. Kathrens's most recent book, Newport Cottages 1835-1890: Summer Villas Before the Vanderbilt Era ). Readers can once again marvel at the beauty and craftsmanship of the midwestern gems they discover inside. Built between 1880 and 1930-the city's boom years-these houses, mostly in revival and Beaux Arts styles, reflect the outsized fortunes of the influential Kansas Citians who built them and speak to the importance of this Midwestern metropolis. Among the 40 superb homes featured-each well documented with archival and new photography as well as floor plans-are Oak Hall (1887) built for newspaper publisher William Rockhill Nelson, whose fortune helped establish the Nelson-Atkins Museum; the magnificent Corinthian Hall (1910), the classical mansion built by Henry F. Hoit for lumber baron Robert A. Long; the modern masterpiece designed by Edward W. Tanner for Walter E. Bixby of Kansas City Life Insurance, with Kem Weber's widely admired interiors; Bernard Corrigan's mansion (1913) designed by Louis S. Curtiss with a nod to the Vienna Secession; and two beautifully eclectic houses by local architect Mary Rockwell Hook, one of the first women to study at the E´cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Kathrens's authoritative yet accessible text is complemented throughout by drawings, floor plans, archival images, and newly commissioned photographs--a treat for architectural scholars and enthusiasts alike., * Explores the development of Kansas City's affluent residential districts beginning with Quality Hill in the 1850s, through the boom years of the 1920s, including the Sunset Hill and Mission Hills districts* 40 houses are profiled in detail, including floor plans, architectural drawings, and photographs of interior architectural elements* Newly commissioned photographs by noted local photographer Bruce Mathews* Appendices include architects' biographies and a selected catalog of 60 additional houses represented by one exterior view and a caption listing original owner, architect, and date completedThis long overdue study documents the rich heritage of Kansas City residential architecture, signifying the importance of this booming midwestern metropolis between 1880 and 1930. The forty houses within this book were erected by the city's leading plutocrats, such as newspaper publisher William Rockhill Nelson, whose fortune helped establish the Nelson-Atkins Museum; minerals magnate August R. Meyer; lumber baron Robert A. Long; oilman Ernest C. Winters; and Walter E. Bixby of Kansas City Life Insurance. Among the noted architects profiled are Edward W. Tanner, Henry F. Hoit, Louis S. Curtiss, the firm of George Brown Post in collaboration with Kansas City based architect Roger Gilman (Dean of RISD 1919-1929), and Mary Rockwell Hook, one of the first women to study at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. Most of these houses were designed in the European and American revival styles prevalent during this period, yet each is distinguished by a midwestern sensibility., "And, wow, what treasures Michael Kathrens's beautiful book brings out of this city's neighborhoods... some of the most magnificent homes in the country." - William O'Connor, Daily Beast 2019 Osmund Overby Award, Missouri Alliance for Historic Preservation Back in stock March 2023!

- c***r (557)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaBook exactly as specified, rapid international delivery (USA to UK), and a reasonable price for an out-of-print book. Many thanks for that. In particular, I appreciated the good quality packaging for the book. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside, it had paper to pad out the box, plus a thin plastic cover to further protect the book. This meant the book survived international shipping in great condition. On that basis, I highly recommend this seller.Relax Into Stretch by Pavel Tsatsouline - flexibility and strength exercises (#197202802654)
- 3***3 (33)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Último añoCompra verificadaThe book was exactly as described. Near perfect condition. I’m loving reading all Jacques Pepin’s tips. The seller was extremely helpful. I, inadvertently, entered the wrong shipping address. I sent a message to the seller with the correct address. They answered me the next day saying not to worry they would change it. The book arrived quickly in a box cushioned with brown stuffing paper. The book itself was carefully wrapped in heavy white protective paper. I highly recommend them.La Technique Jacques Pepin illustrated techniques cooking paperback 1978 SIGNED (#167108398582)

Bible is somewhat rare with a leather cover and pages are not damaged by underlining, highlighting, hand written notes in margins, creases, tears, or stains. Better than " as described". Highly recommend this seller!😊👍
