Description

With gracious residential boulevards, soaring cathedrals, and a few of this country’s first skyscrapers nestled amid bustling city blocks, St. Louis is home to buildings designed by some of The us’s best-known architects, including Cass Gilbert and Louis Sullivan. But no single architectural firm has shaped the style of the city referred to as the Gateway to the West more than Maritz & Young.

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.
