About the Book

An account of America's first known Jewish architect, a founding member of the American Institute of Architects.

In buildings such as the New York State Capitol (Albany), the Tweed Courthouse and Temple Emanu-El (New York), and P. T. Barnum's mansion Iranistan, Eidlitz (1823-1908) created a fusion of structure and ornament that defied the Gilded Age's aesthetic conventions and sowed the seeds of modern American architectural theory a generation before Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright. 130 photographs.



About the Author :
Kathryn E. Holliday teaches architectural history and theory at the University of Texas at Arlington. A graduate of Williams College and the University of Texas at Austin, she has written and lectured on the architecture of New York and New Orleans. This is her first book.

Review :
"[W]ill probably be the authority on Eidlitz for many decades to come….Holliday’s scholarship in assembling this record is nothing short of exemplary." "[T]his pioneering, hard-won monograph….[is] the best tale that could...have been woven from meager archival threads scattered around the world." "[L]ucid and informative….add[s] to our understanding of the organic ideal in American architecture." "[B]eautifully produced….Eidlitz is fortunate to have Holliday as his biographer for she treats his architecture with the greatest sympathy while carefully examining and explaining his work in the context of his theory….Holliday has managed singlehandedly to restore, and indeed amplify, the reputation of the hitherto almost forgotten architect, Leopold Eidlitz."
