Ruttenbaum, Steven

Verlag: Balsam Press, (New York; 1986)

Quarto. 223 pages, index. The incredible building boom that followed World War I saw Roth designing buildings that grew to dominate much of New York's skyline. His 1926 design for the Ritz Towers at 57th Street and Park Avenue, a 540-foot skyscraper of 41 floors, saw human being living higher than ever before. The penthouse duplexes make lavish use of two-story living rooms which, though clothed in Renaissance garb, still relied on planning innovations identified with the Aesthetic and Arts and Crafts Movement.bound in black cloth, spine lettering silver, lower edge and corner slightly bumped, bottom edge rubbed, a very nice copy in in unclipped pictorial dust jacket showing light wear to coners and head.
