Sources of American architecture

George B. Post, one of the preeminent American architects of his time, is known not only for the exceptional quality of his many buildings but also for his contributions to both the technology and the practice of architecture. Acknowledged in his lifetime as the "father of the tall building in New York," Post designed a great number of buildings of various types, including hospitals, banks, and city and country houses, as well as skyscrapers. His command of the latest developments in technology, planning, and style was evident throughout his long career, and his multifaceted practice served as a model for the profession.
Illustrated almost exclusively with archival drawings, photographs, and impressive color renderings, this book captures the spirit of the architect who described architecture as "the most exact, exacting, and comprehensive of the arts."
