Houses of the Hamptons 1880-1930 (The Architecture of Leisure)
We're mad, mad, mad for this hyperchic look back at the fabled South Fork estates of yore, with its gorgeous images and witty text. Just check out the glam pool house at Wooldon Manor, the gardens at Black Point, and the natatorium at the curiously named Port of Missing Men estate. You must run out and buy dozens of copies of this divine book right now. --Hamptons MagazineIf Houses of the Hamptons, 1880-1930, with its slim gold bookmark were only a pretty book, it certainly would attract attention for its glorious archival photos (and occasionally water colors), but the book also provides information about those who conceived of, built and lived in these extraordinary resort mansions, and thus augments the History of the East End in a significant way. --The IndependentFinally. The book that eastern Long Island architects have been dreaming of has arrived... Houses of the Hamptons is an important, splendid tribute to the East End's heritage of resort architecture. It's a wonderful read, and provides us with a breadth of understanding of these unique houses, which, by the end of the book, come alive as characters in the never-ending theater production known as our darling Hamptons. --East Hampton Star
