At the dawn of the 20th century, CarrĂ re & Hastings, along with their mentors, McKim, Mead & White, were the most renowned and influential architectural designers in the U. S. During their 45 years of operation, CarrĂ re & Hastings produced over 600 projects, among some of the best-known and most recognizable buildings of the era, such as New York Public Library, the Frick Collection, the Arlington Memorial Amphitheater, the Original House and Senate office buildings on Capitol Hill, and St. Augustine, Florida, Ponce de Leon hotel. CarrĂ re & Hastings, Architects, is the first thorough examination, analysis and visual record of the firm's many exceptional achievements. Volume I features a detailed biography of each of the principals, a history of the firm, and a thorough record of their urban design creations: grand hotels, theaters, civic and municipal structures, parks, monuments, elegant townhouses, and wide range of commercial buildings for corporations, retailers, and financial institutions. Volume II features CarrĂ re & Hastings' country house work, a field in which they were among the most influential designers of the era. Additional chapters focus on the firm's achievements as creators of churches, academic and institutional buildings, and exhibition pavilions for famed world's fairs. The set includes a catalog of CarrĂ re & Hastings' projects, a roster of the firm's members, and a comprehensive bibliography. BEAUTIFUL COPY!!! in Slipcase.
