Description
Starting initially of the twentieth century, Raymond E. Maritz and W. Ridgely Young built more than a hundred homes in probably the most affluent neighborhoods of St. Louis County, counting among their clientele a who’s who of the city’s most prominent citizens. The Architecture of Maritz & Young is probably the most complete number of their work, featuring more than two hundred photographs, architectural drawings, and original floor plans of homes built in various styles, from Spanish Eclectic to Tudor Revival. Alongside these historic images, Kevin Amsler and L. John Schott have provided descriptions of each and every place of dwelling detailing the original owners. Lovingly compiled from a multitude of historical sources and rare books, that is the definitive history of the domestic architecture that still defines St. Louis.
