Book Description

Architectural History Foundation Book November 17, 1989
Bit by bit Quinan brings to life a key achievement of American architecture, from the saga of its creation to the inconsistencies of its reputation. He traces the elements of its exceptional structure, explains the unprecedented coordination of its intricate equipment, the rich meaning of its superb decorations, and the fluctuation of its critical and historic assessments.

Jack Quinan is Associate Professor of Art History at the State University of New York at Buffalo. An Architectural History Foundation Book

Review



"Although the Larkin Building, built in Buffalo in 1904, was torn down in 1950, it remains an icon of American architecture. But strangely, until now this masterwork has never been the subject of a book. Mr. Quinan's treatment is thoughtful and readable; an art historian, his greatest contribution is in his ability to view the powerful yet serene form of the Larkin Building with its central light court not only as a remarkable modernist object, but also as a reflection of the goals and corporate culture of the huge soap company that built it. This book renews the sense that the demolition of the Larkin Building was one of the tragic losses of American Architecture."
Paul Goldberger, The New York Times Book Review
