Description: One of the preeminent American architects of his time, George B. Post (1837-1913) is known for the exceptional quality of his many buildings and for his contributions to the technology and the practice of architecture; he was acknowledged in his lifetime as the “father of the tall building in New York.” This monograph, illustrated with 106 black and white and 22 color drawings and photographs, explores his innovative career chronologically, from his studies at New York University through his work on the Equitable Building—the first office building to use elevators—to such triumphs as the New York Stock Exchange.
