Reviews
"Maybe you are a connoisseur of historic architecture, or an avid student of interior design. Perhaps you prefer history to fiction and local history to all other. Or perchance you admire gardens and those who create them. If any of these applies to you, the new book Longue Vue House and Gardens will leave you, as it did me, spellbound. More than two hundred pages of text, architectural drawings, garden plans, color images and vintage black and white photos fill the tome from cover to cover." -- The New Orleans Advocate, "Maybe you are a connoisseur of historic architecture, or an avid student of interior design.

Synopsis
The stunning interiors and glorious gardens of New Orleans's unrivaled jewel and architectural masterpiece. Longue Vue House and Gardens, accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and listed as a national historic landmark, was designed and built between 1934 and 1942 by landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman and architects Charles and William Platt for Edgar Bloom and Edith Rosenwald Stern, New Orleans's foremost mid-twentieth-century philanthropists and civil-rights activists. The mansion and its surrounding eight acres of garden spaces, with varied designs ranging from the formal to the wild, draw upon Southern architectural traditions and native Louisiana flora, even as they echo the contemporaneous garden-design movement that set the stage for the creation of some of the most breathtaking garden estates in the country. Lush photography, supporting architectural drawings, and an informative text bring the main house and gardens to life and establish the estate as an enduring symbol to its creators' contributions to building a just society., In the tradition of Rizzoli's Biltmore Estate and Nemours, Longue Vue celebrates the stunning interiors and glorious gardens of New Orleans's unrivaled jewel and Classical Revival masterpiece. Through lush photography, architectural drawings, and informative text by two leading architecture experts, Longue Vue celebrates the beautiful house and gardens as designed by renowned landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman and architects William and Geoffrey Platt.

- y***a (43)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book was advertised as being “free of interior markings” but has numerous pages of highlighting. If the condition of the book is important to you, maybe look for a different seller. Probably an honest mistake but would have been a problem if I was intending for the book to be a gift especially since there’s no returns.
