In the early part of the 20th century, American architect Harrie T. Lindeberg designed dozens of distinguished dwellings inspired by historical sources. His work is similar to that of his celebrated English contemporaries C.F.A. Voysey and Edwin Lutyens, but Lindeberg’s name is less familiar. Architect Peter Pennoyer and historian Anne Walker think his refined but idiosyncratic style, which reinterprets rather than replicates both classical and vernacular precedents, is long overdue for recognition.
Pennoyer and Walker’s book, with sumptuous photography by Jonathan Wallen, is their fifth exploration of early 20th-century architecture by eminent New York practitioners. If you’ve only seen Lindeberg’s houses in the monochromatic photos of previous monographs published in 1912 and 1940, viewing them in color—not just as architectural artifacts but as intricately detailed, richly textured settings in lush green landscapes—comes as a splendid surprise.
