The forty houses covered here were erected by the city's leading plutocrats such as newspaper publisher William Rockhill Nelson whose fortune helped establish the Nelson-Atkins Museum; minerals magnate August R. Meyer; lumber baron Robert A. Long; oilman Ernest C. Winters; and Walter E. Bixby of Kansas City Life Insurance. Among the noted architects profiled are Edward W. Tanner; Henry F. Hoit; Louis S. Curtiss; the New York firm of George Brown Post in collaboration with Kansas City based architect Roger Gilman (Dean of RISD 1919-1929); and Mary Rockwell Hook (one of the first women to study at the Ìäcole des Beaux Arts in Paris). Most of these houses were designed in the European and American revival styles prevalent during this period although distinguished by a unique Midwestern sensibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardcover:\u003c\/b\u003e 400 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bauer and Dean Publishers (October 31 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0983863229\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 978-0983863229\u003c\/p\u003e                                                                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e    Product Dimensions:     \u003c\/b\u003e    9.2 x 1.4 x 12.3 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.9 pounds \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Architecture","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":30800509829208,"sku":"983863229","price":81.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/6217\/4808\/products\/610A-sey2sL.jpg?v=1570952400","url":"https:\/\/socialskills21.myshopify.com\/products\/kansas-city-houses-michael-kathrens","provider":"socialskills21","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
