A view of the resort and leisure architecture of one of the most popular and prolific firms of the Gilded Age. Robert Swain Peabody and John Goddard Stearns Jr. led one of the most popular and prolific architectural design firms in the Northeast, securing more than one thousand commissions and building a vast and vibrant repertoire, from warehouses and town houses to retail stores, banks, schools, railroad stations, libraries, playhouses, and country houses.This survey is the first of its kind to focus on the firms country house commissions, offering a fascinating glimpse into the social and economic vitality that epitomized the eraone that gave rise to a robust clientele for resort architecture and second homes. Indeed, the economic developments of the time spurred a vast market for houses of recreation and leisuretime buildings, including casinos, boathouses, stables, gentlemens farms, and cottages, all of which Peabody & Stearns had a leading role in creating. With this book, Annie Robinson establishes Peabody & Stearns as a significant contributor to the development of an American architecture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.This comprehensive catalog showcases more than eighty of the firms designs, from Pierre Lorillards The Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island, to William Forbess cottage on Cape Cod, James Ford Rhodess Ravenscleft in Maine, and Charles William Eliots Sunshine in Northeast Harbor, Maine. While the bulk of the firms commissions were located in New England, notable works in the Middle Atlantic states and in the South and the West are also covered. Containing over two hundred illustrations, archival photographs, plans, and drawings, Peabody & Stearns tells the littleknown story of the two men who formed a lasting architectural partnership, and displays the impressive collection of the homes across the country on which they left their imprint.250 b/w & 25 color illustrations
