Review: Lessard, The unArchitect of Desire

The Architect of Desire: Beauty and Danger in the Stanford White FamilyThe Architect of Desire: Beauty and Danger in the Stanford White Family by Suzannah Lessard

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Memoir of the great-granddaughter of Stanford White, the great Beaux-Arts architect murdered in a theater he himself designed by the husband of one of his former mistresses. Lessard writes beautifully about architecture and place and family, but I think she rushes the ending.
