Summary:

"George Mann Niedecken (1878-1945) was a major designer in the Prairie Style, known primarily for his collaborations with Frank Lloyd Wright to furnish the interiors of several houses." "This book focuses on three examples of Niedecken's commissions between 1907 and 1917 and an article by Niedecken himself to explore the evolving relationship among architect, interior designer, and client in the first quarter of the twentieth century."--Jacket.
