Résumé:

"Considered one of America's premier "great house" architects, David Adler (1882-1949) left behind a legacy of grandeur and elegance that has never been equaled. Illustrated with archival and contemporary photographs and newly drawn floor plans of seventeen luxurious country houses and gardens commissioned by Adler's socially prominent clients, these pages unveil the broad scope of the architect's oeuvre as well as offer intimate looks at the characteristic features and details unique to each house."--Jacket.
