The Architecture of Ralph Adams Cram and His Office

An examination of the life and works of a major architect whose buildings today surpass him in recognition.

In the early twentieth century—a time when modernism was favored over classicism, and architectural iconoclasm over tradition—the commissions of Ralph Adams Cram and his partners, including the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, were inspired by elegant practicality, mystical philosophies, and a keen sense of history and place. 200 illustrations.
