ArchitectureWeek Description
This beautifully photographed book focuses on Laurelton Hall, Louis Comfort Tiffany’s country estate on Long Island, New York. Beginning in 1902, Tiffany (1848–1933) designed every aspect of the immense house: 84 rooms, eight levels, and extensive grounds. The residential masterpiece was also a quasi-museum filled with his own works — windows, glassware, pottery, enamels, lamps, oil paintings, and watercolors —as well as collections of Islamic, Asian, and Native American art.
