The newest book in The Classical America Series in Art and Architecture-- Comparative Architectural Details: A selection from Pencil Points 1932-1937, compiled for the first time by award winning architect Milton Wilfred Grenfell, brings together 280 drawings of everything from cupolas, windows, doors, fences, gates, to stone finishing and even radiator enclosures in one volume for application in today's practice. The drawings, by such leading architects as John Russell Pope, Delano & Aldrich and Grosvenor Atterbury, along with many from today's leading traditional architects, provide a solid template for reproducing these fine works.
Milton Grenfell is principal of the firm Grenfell Architecture in Washington, DC. His award winning work spans a quarter of a century and is widely published. The recipient of the Classical America 1997 Arthur Ross Award, he writes and lectures frequently on traditional architecture and urbanism.
