Henry L.A. Jekel: Architect of Eastern Skyscrapers and the California Style by H. Vincent Moses & Catherine Whitmore

Authors Moses and Whitmore trace the fascinating life of architect Henry L.A. Jekel, from his youth at the rough and tumble edge of Buffalo's notorious Canal District, to his meteoric rise as a pioneering leader in the design of the American steel-skeleton skyscraper, in New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Lastly, they follow him to Riverside, California and his radical reinvention as a studio architect in the romantic California style. More than a century later, Jekel's legacy endures.
