5.0 out of 5 stars invaluable for anyone interesting in NYC architecture, July 18, 1998
By Christopher Gray (Across the street from Zabar's) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This work (the first in a projected pentology on New York architecture in 1876, 1900, 1930, 1960 and 2000) is a dead-on account of NYC high-style architecture from 1890-1915. A must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully documents buildings of the turn-of-the-century, November 17, 2001
By saskatoonguy (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent treatment of New York architecture, 1890-1915, divided into chapters by building type. It's substantially thinner than Robert Stern's other books in this series (New York 1880, New York 1930, New York 1960), but there's enough meat here that the reader feels the topic has been fully covered. The book has a particularly attractive page format, with numerous photos that beautifully document the era (averaging approximately one per page). There are also roughly 60 floor plans, although most page space is used for text.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original and the still the best!, January 3, 2000
By A Customer
This is a groundbreaking work that unearthed the contemporaneous understanding of events that, because of the advent of modernism, was never recorded in books. It has paved the way for more specialized studies, but its breadth of learning and expertise has never been surpassed.
