{"product_id":"longue-vue-house-and-gardens-isbn-9780847846511","title":"Longue Vue House and Gardens","description":"The stunning interiors and glorious gardens of New Orleans’s unrivaled jewel and architectural masterpiece. Longue Vue House and Gardens, accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and listed as a national historic landmark, was designed and built between 1934 and 1942 by landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman and architects Charles and William Platt for Edgar Bloom and Edith Rosenwald Stern, New Orleans’s foremost mid-twentieth-century philanthropists and civil-rights activists. The mansion and its surrounding eight acres of garden spaces, with varied designs ranging from the formal to the wild, draw upon Southern architectural traditions and native Louisiana flora, even as they echo the contemporaneous garden-design movement that set the stage for the creation of some of the most breathtaking garden estates in the country. Lush photography, supporting architectural drawings, and an informative text bring the main house and gardens to life and establish the estate as an enduring symbol to its creators’ contributions to building a just society.“\u003cb\u003eThis fantastic house history takes us through the past and present\u003c\/b\u003e of one of New Orleans' greatest architectural treasures, with vintage illustrations and photos. . . ”\u003cbr\u003e-\u003ci\u003eThe New Orleans Advocate\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eLONGUE VUE HOUSE AND GARDENS\u003c\/i\u003e captures an important moment in American house and garden design — and, for those of us who live too far from this gracious enclave, offers vicarious respite.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003ci\u003eTHE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Substantial enough in size and comprehensiveness of content, \u003ci\u003eLongue Vue House and Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e is destined for display rather than to be shelved away, and \u003cb\u003ewill be the book to give and receive this holiday season\u003c\/b\u003e.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e-\u003ci\u003e SOUTHERN \u003c\/i\u003eJEWISH LIFE MAGAZINE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLongue Vue is an iconic New Orleans estate that remains an important part of the city’s heritage today as a house museum. . . \u003cb\u003eStunning photographs\u003c\/b\u003e of the interiors and gardens are supplemented with architectural and landscape drawings.\u003cbr\u003e-\u003ci\u003eARCHITECTURAL DIGEST\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eLongue Vue House and Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e showcases the stunning interiors and gardens of New Orleans's architectural masterpiece. . . \u003cb\u003eLush photography, drawings, and an informative text \u003c\/b\u003eestablish the estate as an enduring symbol to its creators' contributions to building a just society.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003ci\u003eGAMBIT WEEKLY\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"L\u003ci\u003eongue Vue House and Gardens: The Architecture, Interiors, and Gardens of New Orleans' Most Celebrated Estate\u003c\/i\u003e explores the history of this magnificent Classical Revival mansion and eight-acre estate. . .  \u003cb\u003eStunning photographs of the interiors and gardens\u003c\/b\u003e are supplemented with architectural and landscape drawings.\"\u003cbr\u003e-\u003ci\u003eTHE HUFFINGTON POST\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eCharles Davey\u003c\/b\u003e is the Design and Production Director for the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art’s magazine \u003ci\u003eThe Classicist\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as a writer and independent book producer.
