| 520 | 1 | |a "From the Vanderbilts' Biltmore and the Rockefellers' Kykuit to the Duponts' museum-like Winterthur and William Randolph Hearst's legendary San Simeon, American country houses evoke the grandeur of a vanished world of wealth and privilege. This book describes the great country houses built with industrial fortunes from the end of the Civil War until 1940." "Written by Clive Aslet, author of a widely acclaimed study of English country houses of this period, The American Country House draws on the rich and often amusing writings of contemporaries to evoke the life the buildings served as well as the architectural shape that they took, and recreates an entertaining and original vision of the creativity and the conspicuous consumption of American upper classes in their golden age."--Jacket. | |
