The article begins:  “To say that the house at 23 Park Avenue, New York City, is the supreme example of genius of the most notable architect of his time in that metropolitan area, would be to lay one’s self open to criticism, and yet certainly such an assertion would find many sponsors among the members of Stanford White’s own profession…The site is a corner one – Park Avenue and East Thirty-fifth Street – and the main entrance is on the Park Avenue side in the center of the façade….” “The original owner was J. Hampden Robb, who built the house for his private residence many years ago…In 1923, when the property became the possession of the Advertising Club of New York, it was remodeled by McKim, Mead and White to serve as a club house….”

(The article begins:  “While the main current of Spanish architecture remained national during the Gothic era, it was highly flavored by foreign influences, chiefly French.  But after the fall of Granada, the rich art of the Moors was brought more forcibly to the attention of the Spanish artists, with the result that a Moresco-Gothic quickly followed.  This soon gave way to Plateresque, so called because of the similarity of its surface decoration to the ornamentation used by gold and silver smiths, the Spanish name for such artisans being plateros….”)

(This book chronicles the life of Thomas R. Reding from Salem, Indiana. Details his work are included along with many black-and-white photographs of his carvings and tombstones that can be found throughout Indiana. Most of these older markers are carved from a fine-grained, light-colored sandstone. The engraving on these stones appears to be of consistently higher quality than that of the marble ones. Although the sandstone slabs date from 1830 to 1850, they have retained their sharpness and detail.)
