• Reveals for the first time the singular contribution made by the firm of George & Edward Blum to the design of the New York apartment building. Active from approximately 1910 to 1930, these two brothers were among the most talented New York architects of the quintessential form of twentieth century urban housing in the city-the apartment building. The Blums designed a striking group of buildings that combine unusual facade detailing with the typical rectilinear massing of the New York apartment house. Their buildings are superbly embellished with complex brick patterning and are highlighted by exceptional detail in terra cotta ad art tile. The Blums' varied designs and their materials are analyzed and profusely illustrated.
