Gavin Stamp's Interwar (2024) is an an incredible work of synthesis, mature judgment and writing craft. (Editing craft too: it was edited into shape by Rosemary Hill and others after his death.) It was the buildings of this period that first got me started on #ArchitecturalHistory . . . . /

Architectural History is relatively quiet on this platform -- glad to learn about this book and the other prizewinners. #ArchitecturalHistory
Delighted that Women & Architectural History was recognised by a Colvin Prize commendation last week. www.sahgb.org.uk/features/sah...

In this first of two posts, we will build the case that Pebble Dash was not a distinctive feature of #FrankLloydWright’s #AmericanSystemBuiltHomes. It was someone else’s idea. #architecturalhistory elizabethmurphyhouse.com/2025/12/23/p...
Pebble Dash was not Wright’s Idea (Part 1)
The documented evidence tells us that Pebble Dash was an alteration of Frank Lloyd Wright’s American System Built Homes designs — something he hoped to cover up and forget about.

Sacred Skylines: How the World’s Great Religions Mark the Holidays in Light
Across the globe, light has long been a language of celebration. From the colorful onion domes of Moscow to the gilded pagodas of Yangon, illuminated architecture signals both the passage of the season and the enduring presence of faith. Each major religion uses its most iconic structures to mark significant holidays—turning skylines into expressions of devotion, ritual, and design.

Start the week with a building. HT Hare, Passmore Edwards Library, Hoxton, 1897-99, brick & terracotta, must have been an impressive new statement in its neighbourhood. Likely some awareness of Richard Norman Shaw's New Scotland Yard, 1887-90. Listings in alt text #Victorian #ArchitecturalHistory

Surface treatments: Boultings building, Ridinghouse Street, Fitzrovia, H. Fuller Clarke 1903. One of the most original commercial buildings of its date. Nearby in Langham St, 1901, Howard de Walden Nurses Home. Odd: use of glazed brick but otherwise not modern. #Edwardian #ArchitecturalHistory

Cleveland Street Workhouse, 1775-78, latterly part of Middlesex Hospital, London: scrubbed, bleached, repointed. The postcard is from 1930, the year in which workhouses were formally abolished. #ArchitecturalHistory #Hospitals

Buffalonians like to quote Ada Louise Huxtable, who supposedly pronounced a view in downtown Buffalo, NY as "the greatest urban vista in America." But she never said this. We figured out who did.
