Triumvirate: McKim, Mead & White

The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 13, 2010

Architectural and social historian Mosette Broderick discusses the lives of Charles McKim, William Mead, and Stanford White—who created the most influential, far-reaching architectural firm of its time. Triumvirate: McKim, Mead & White: Art, Architecture, Scandal, and Class in America's Gilded Age tells the story of their world and times, and the buildings they built:including houses for the Astors and the Vanderbilts, Trinity Church in Boston, Judson Memorial Baptist Church in New York, the Boston Public Library, the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City, the arch in Washington Square, and Columbia University and New York University.
