Résumé:
Price, a disciple of Frank Furness who practiced in Philadelphia from 1883 to 1916, established the architectural character of two of the nation's great resorts, Atlantic City and Miami, thus shaping the architecture of the Roaring Twenties. Although his largest and best-known projects, the Art Deco Traymore Hotel in Atlantic City and the Chicago Freight Terminal, have been, his arts and crafts utopian community in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania and his Garden City community in Arden, Delaware survive to attest to the vigor of his ideas and the leadership he exerted. Price left a legacy of exquisite houses, railway stations, and commercial structures stretching from Atlantic City to Chicago and from Canada to Florida that was widely emulated and recalls the best works of Frank Lloyd Wright and Greene & Greene. In addition, Price was an accomplished writer and furniture designer whose work was regularly featured in Gustav Stickley's "The Craftsman". Price's role in shaping American architecture is uncovered in this lavishly illustrated volume, which documents the architect's complete works including over 350 hotels, houses, and pieces of furni-ture, bringing to light this little-known American master.

Résumé:
This publication uses the physical evidence of community plans, building typologies and structural systems, and landscape to gain an understanding of the five great migrations that settled William Penn's Commonwealth. The rising industrial culture found its aesthetic counterpart in the architecture of Frank Furness who turned the dross of industry into the gold of design; his values continued through his students William L. Price and George Howe and on into the late twentieth century in the careers of Louis Kahn and Robert Venturi. In addition to Philadelphia, the book surveys the rival German-influenced small cities of the Piedmont, the brief but flourishing of wealth in the twin coal country cities, and a host of secondary county towns and villages that carry on vernacular building traditions overlaid with metropolitan architecture serving regional and national clients. This volume includes a glossary, bibliography, and over 400 illustrations (photographs, maps, and drawings). It is a volume in the Buildings of the United States series of the Society of Architectural Historians.
