Summary:
Many of the stately greystones that line Chicago’s streets and boulevards have fallen into disrepair, but there is now a movement afoot to renovate these beautiful historic structures. Three experts in the field of Chicago housing and architecture now offer an accessible guide to properly renovating the Chicago greystone. In clear and comprehensive chapters, the authors explain the technical aspects of inspecting, maintaining, and restoring a greystone home. They outline four levels of building restoration conditions—Maintainer, Fixer-Upper, Rehabber, and Total Gut—and chart the step-by-step renovation procedures for each level of restoration. The book effectively educates greystone owners on restoration methods that are cost-effective, energy-efficient, financially sustainable, and historically aware. The Historic Chicago Greystone provides an essential and unparalleled guide to the maintenance and restoration of these treasured Chicago dwellings.

B42 s’associe avec le designer français Martin Szekely pour présenter une série d’ouvrages consacrés à son travail. Chaque ouvrage s’attardera sur une pièce, une série de pièces ou une exposition et montrera, essentiellement par l’image, les projets du designer. Le tome V, Villa Greystones, présente à travers une série de photographies de Fabrice Gousset une maison d’architecte en pierre, verre et béton, entre ciel et océan, poste d’observation unique face à l’immensité. À portée de vue, des îles-jardins et Saint-Malo. Michel Roux-Spitz l’avait construite en 1938 pour lui-même. Après quelques errances et soixante-quinze années plus tard, elle retrouve sa forme initiale grâce à l’engagement de son nouveau propriétaire.

Summary:
With nearly 300 archival photographs, drawings, and original floor plans, Houses of Missouri, 1870–1940, offers an intimate tour behind the facades of 45 purely American houses. Among these are Greystone, the pastoral Gothic cottage of Major Emory Foster in Pevely; Oak Hall, the opulent mansion of the legendary Kansas City Star publisher William Rockhill Nelson; the iconoclastic “machine in the prairie,” Samuel Marx-designed Ladue residence for department store magnate Morton May; and Chatol, the striking Art Moderne “farmhouse” in rural Boone county. The authors bring to life the fortunes, motivations, and aspirations of their wealthy and upstanding house owners who rigorously defined what was “suitable” and respectable living in America’s heartland.
