An architectural, personal, and historical account of one of the towering figures from America's Gilded Age First published in 2001, this acclaimed volume is back in print, shining a spotlight on the four major houses purchased or built and renovated for Henry Clay Frick, the world-famous art collector and steel tycoon. The most authoritative book available about Frick's houses, it contains exclusive content, including vintage photographs, documents, letters, original working drawings, artist's sketches, and designer's notes. With America's Gilded Age continuing to fascinate readers, this book provides a unique cross-section of the era with history, architecture, design, art, and biography. With priceless furnishings, interiors, and designed gardens by the most prestigious architects of the day, the houses featured in this book exemplify the great residences of the era: the late-Victorian Clayton in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania houses the Frick Pittsburgh; the neoclassical Eagle Rock in Massachusetts was Frick's summer retreat; One East Seventieth Street in New York is home to the world-renowned Frick Collection; and the Clayton Estate in Roslyn, New York is a Georgian Revival masterpiece. The author-a great-granddaughter of Henry Clay Frick-provides privileged access to the subject, which results in a text that describes the rooms, artwork, furniture, and gardens in exacting detail, and interweaves stories of the lives of Frick and his family with the history of the houses.

Seller's Description:
Fine in Near Fine jacket. Size: 8x1x12; Inscribed by author on title page (with best wishes / Martha Frick Symington Sanger / ''Martie''). Hardcover in black cloth slipcase. Fine. Dust jacket is near fine with just a bit of slight edgewear. Slipcase shows light scuffing and some minor soiling. Illustrated with over 300 vintage photographs, most never seen before. Notes, Bibliography, Resources, Glossary, Index, pp. xiv, 295. 12 x 10 inches. A gorgeously illustrated study of the houses of Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), a world-famous art collector and steel tycoon, authoritatively written by his great-granddaughter, his award-winning biographer, Martha Frick Symington Sanger. Drawing on extensive, previously unpublished archives of vintage photographs, documents, and letters, Sanger presents here the fascinating story of Henry Clay Frick's houses. She recounts the purchase and renovation of these properties and in great detail presents the unusual beauty of the furnishings, objects of art, and design feature in each home. The work of Frick's architects and interior designers--the most prominent of their era--is carefully documented, as are their often tumultuous relationships with the Frick family. Sanger interweaves the stories of the lives of Frick, of his wife, and their children with the history of these houses. Intriguing subjects addressed in this scholarly work are the impact of the Industrial Revolution on interior design trends in America; Frick's introduction to art through his travels in Europe; the independent and heroic life of his daughter, Helen Clay Frick, as an art collector, early historic preservationist, and feminist. Includes examples original working drawings, artists' sketches, and designer's notes. Photographs are accompanied by extensive captions describing the rooms, artwork, and furniture in exacting detail.
