McKim, Mead, and White — the noted architectural firm that was responsible in the late 1800s and early 1900s for the redesign of the White House, the campuses of Harvard and Columbia Universities, New York City's Pennsylvania Station and the original Madison Square Garden — also designed houses for the most prominent families of America's Gilded Age. In this book, Stanford White's great-grandson provides a tour of these lavish residences, many of which have never before been so fully depicted in print.
The authors explore outstanding landmark houses that exemplify America's major architectural and interior design styles from Colonial times to the present. Twenty-five houses are illustrated with 350 specially commissioned color photographs of interior and exterior views, 125 b&w line drawings and floor plans, historical paintings, and vintage photographs.

The first study to examine the influence of Disneyland on both our built environment and our architectural imagination, it traces the relationship of the Disney parks to their historical forebears and charts Disneyland's evolution from one man's personal dream to "magic" that has moved ever closer to the real world.
This is an account of the career of the architect who designed Central Park, the campus of Stanford University and the grounds around the U.S. Capitol. Two hundred color photographs bring out the highlights of Olmsted's work as a landscape architect.
