Nineteen essays, by a diverse group of historians and others who experience and study Gilbert's buildings in their professional lives, detail the intricate relationship between Gilbert's work and the longstanding tradition of public architecture in America. This volume examines Gilbert's work in five unique categories: the building of a national practice, an evaluation of his Minnesota State Capitol as "a defining moment" in American civic architecture, his New York career, his response to civic ideals in his plans for towns and universities, and his work in the public domain.

"Cass Gilbert's architectural career dawned in his twentieth year, not with an American building but with a sheaf of European sketches. In 1880 he crossed the Atlantic with high hopes but only the vaguest prospect of work, either abroad or on his return. Armed with pencil, pen, and watercolor brushes, he visually raided the cities and countrysides of England, Italy, and France for their architectural wonders, their scenery, and anything else that served his fascination with the monumental and the picturesque." "Gilbert returned home bitterly disappointed at not finding a position in England; but the spoils he brought back with him - a matchless portfolio of studies and sketches - earned him entree into one of the foremost architectural offices in the country and served as the foundation for a long and fruitful career. It is only fitting that these earliest glimmerings of his talent, strong enough even then to win acclaim among his peers in New York and Paris, should at last be brought into the light." "Cass Gilbert Abroad combines the fledgling architect's pen-and-ink and pencil drawings and glorious watercolor sketches from his European tour with letters he wrote home to his mother and to his closest friend and architectural confidant, Minnesota's most prolific architect Clarence Johnston."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Cass Gilbert was both a creator of distinguished buildings and a leader in elevating the architectural profession. An early proponent of skyscrapers, Gilbert is responsible for the Woolworth Building, numerous museums and libraries as well as the United State Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. and the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House in New York City. His legacy endures and there now is renewed appreciation of his ability to unify technology with artistry in civic and commercial architecture. While Gilbert's work has been studied in depth, in this book Charles Pankenier considers the architect as a personality. He relates the forces that shaped the man and the final quarter century of his life as the owner of Ridgefield's "Cannon Ball House," the period that coincided with Gilbert's professional maturity and culminating period of accomplishment. In 1900 when Gilbert purchased the Keller Tavern as his summer home in Ridgefield, Connecticut, the architect immediately become one of the most celebrated residents of a community that had long attracted individuals recognized for their accomplishments in business and the arts. When Gilbert died in 1934, the London Times wrote: "The list of his most important buildings would only be long enough to prove him the most remarkable architect of his generation in America." Illustrated with black & white photographs. Author: Charles Pankenier is a longtime docent at Keeler Tavern Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut, at one time Cass Gilbert's Cannon Ball House. There, he joins with other guides to interpret the property's 300-year history, together with the lives of the remarkable people who give it contemporary meaning. Pankenier is also the author of "Ridgefield Fights the Civil War."
