Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Francis Hatch Kimball (1845 1919) was an American architect practicing in New York City, best known for his work on skyscrapers in lower Manhattan and terra-cotta ornamentation. He was an associate with the firm Kimball & Thompson. Kimball was born in Kennebunk, Maine. He went on to study architecture in England, and his former Catholic Apostolic Church (New York City) (1897) was praised by influential architectural critic Montgomery Schuyler as "no more scholarly Gothic work in New York." Kimball was a pioneer in the use of ornamental terra-cotta in the United States, evident on the Corbin Building, on a striking row of townhouses that he designed at 133-143 West 122nd Street in Harlem, and on the Montauk Club in Park Slope, Brooklyn. A 1917 New York Times article describing him as the "father of the skyscraper" notes his bankruptcy.
