Known for demanding classwork and setting the highest standards for education, the Ecole has attracted a diverse array of talented individuals from all over, including the United States, to which former Ecole students returned to design buildings that would influence the history of architecture in this country, including the Boston Public Library of 1888-95 (Charles McKim of Mead & White), the New York Public Library of 1897-1911 (John Carrere of Carrere and Hastings), Hearst Castle of 1919-48 (Julia Morgan), the Biltmore Estate of 1895 (Richard Morris Hunt), and Kykuit of 1914 (William Welles Bosworth).This book presents for the first time a comprehensive overview of the seminal early work of a century of American architects who studied at the famous school before going on to design and build many of this nation's most important buildings and monuments."CONDITION: Previous architect's bookplate is affixed to the front pastedown, else book is fine.
