During his 40-year career, Bottomley designed and executed over 180 commissions for his clients. An uncompromising perfectionist with refined taste, he oversaw virtually every facet of his projects, from interior ornamentation and decoration to the surrounding landscape design. THE ARCHITECTURE OF WILLIAM LAWRENCE BOTTOMLEY is the first comprehensive study of this master architect and designer. Richly illustrated with archival photographs and floor plans, the book examines 34 of the architect s structures nationwide and includes a catalogue of 185 commissions and a comprehensive bibliography. With new discoveries revealed about Bottomley and his work in the illuminating essays of author Susan Hume Frazer, this volume represents a noteworthy addition to Acanthus Press distinguished series of publications documenting America s rich architectural legacy. Average Rating:
 Rating: - WILLIAM BOTTOMLEY, ARCHITECTThis book, as with all Acanthus books is simply beautiful. I don't know any other publisher that puts more thought into their product, down to the ever present bookmarking ribbon. William Bottomley's work is given its just due in this well thought out and produced book. Frankly, I was not all that familiar with his work, so this book was a real eye opener for me. He producted everything from chic townhomes to spectacular mansions, and he was a master of many styles. As with all Acanthus Press ...

Rating: - The Architecture of William Lawrence BottomleyThis is a marvelous book that will give hours and hours of visual pleasure and reading pleasure. It is very informative with personal information and professional information with many photos, many original black and whites. Susan Hume-Frazer has done an oustanding job. Thank you! Rating: - Acanthus Press does it again"The Architecture of William Lawrence Bottomley" is the latest addition to a fine series of books on architecture and design by The Acanthus Press. As with the other books in their series on architects, this volume presents the best of Bottomley's output with indepth discussions of 34 examples of his work, from a church to a city hall as well as his extraordinary residential commissions which inludes townhouses, River House in New York City and a variety of magnificent homes. The book provides a ... Read More Rating: - An affordable Bottomley bookThough I have not finished reading this book, I am enjoying it. I have been looking forward to this since I first heard of it's publication. I am interested in Bottomley's work, but the original monograph by Mr. Weeks is now selling for $200-$300, which is not an affordable price. As an architectural designer, I enjoy the book for the "pictures", however, I find the introduction and narrative of the projects to be just as interesting.
