[" Only recently has the period between the two World Wars emerged as pivotal in the redefinition of American taste. The work of James Gamble Rogers (1867-1947) represents a built expression of the country's cultural elite during these years and comprises a significant chapter in American architectural history. Aaron Betsky covers the entire span of Rogers's career, paying particular attention to his more important buildings. These include the Harkness mansion, the Yale Club, and the buildings of Columbia-Presbyterian in New York; the downtown campus, library, stadium, dormitories and other assorted buildings of Northwestern University; and the Harkness Memorial Quadrangle, residential colleges, Graduate School, Law School, and Sterling Memorial Library at Yale, which with their blending of English medieval and renaissance motifs and their historical associations are perhaps the fullest expression of the neo-Gothic style in America. Aaron Betsky investigates the central issues of American architecture through Rogers' private house commissions for wealthy clients seeking to define their lives and livelihoods through temples of taste, his corporate structures notable for both lucid organization and symbolic ornamentation, and his designs for universities and hospitals which integrated historical and social metaphors into redefinitions of institutional function.

Very slight yellowing to block / page edges from aging/sunlight.; Black and white photographs and pictures throughout.; 7.25 X 1.25 X 10.25 inches; 275 pages; James Gamble Rogers (1867–1947) was a prominent American architect who significantly challenges and contributed to the design of collegiate Gothic architecture on American university campuses, particularly at Yale University. Born in Bryan Station, Kentucky, Rogers graduated from Yale in 1889. He later established a successful architectural practice in New York City. Rogers' work at Yale, including the Sterling Memorial Library and the residential college system, showcased his masterful integration of Gothic revival styles with modern functional requirements. His designs emphasized traditional craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the use of high-quality materials, which helped define the architectural character of Yale and influenced collegiate architecture across the United States. Rogers' legacy extends beyond Yale, with important works at other institutions and public buildings, embodying a commitment to architectural excellence and the harmonious blending of beauty and utility.
