Reviews
"The architecture of Marion Sims Wyeth defines one of the most preeminent design talents of his day. This richly illustrated book takes readers into the legendary abodes of Marjorie Merriweather Post and Doris Duke—Mar-a-Lago and Shangri La, respectively—as well as the less well-known but equally spectacular Hogarcito and La Claridad, to name but a few." —SOCIETY TEXAS
"With copies of original plans and elevations throughout, as well as early black-and-white photography, Day’s book enlightens the reader about Wyeth’s seminal structures with historical provenance and contemporary photography. It is that rare tome that’s both scholarly and visually captivating; it will serve to inspire architects and interior designers working in tropical locals–and beyond–for generations to come." —INTERIORDESIGNMASTERCLASS.COM
"This book highlights some of his most iconic projects, including Doris Duke’s Hawaiian retreat and a mansion that will remain in the history books for entirely different reasons—Mar-a-Lago." —ELLE DECOR
