Classic Atlanta
This is a wonderful book on one of Atlantas finest residential architects. Mr. Shutze had a command of many styles, but he most famous for his Neo-Palladian Swan House, he built for the Inmans in Buckhead, this home is simply a masterpiece and we are so fortunite that it is today open to the public. This book has wonderful images of the Inman home and many other opulant mansions that Philip Shutze designed in and around Atlanta. The text is quite scholarly and informative, and as I had already stated the book includes many vivid images. Atlanta was fortunite to have had an architect of this calibur designing its great homes during the Golden Age of American craftmanship. Like Houstons great residential architect John Staub, Shutze was a master of many styles, but always knew one didnt need to guild the lilly, so to speak, he also, like Staub, always designed a home to integrate fluidly with its natural surroundings, this I believe was his greatest talent. Wonderful book on a great talent..highly recommended.
