HOUSE BEAUTIFUL
The Dining RoomDate: 1897 Title: House Beautiful - February 15, 1897 (Digital) Published monthly by Klapp & Company, Chicago)
Author: Anonymous
Description: "Successful Houses. III. How often does the architect, while creating the most beautiful effects for others, attain a satisfactory result in his own house? The mind which can plan and originate for a living, seems inadequate when it comes to planning for pleasure alone. Though often good enough as far as mere laying out of rooms goes, the homes of many architects, which naturally should be demonstrations in taste are uninteresting, commonplace and lacking in originality, Why this is so is difficult to say... As recent impressions of the house of Mr. Frank Wright at Oak Park are very strong it will serve as an example of the exception. Here is a case where nothing has been done hastily or carelessly, and every room has been arranged with the intention of obtaining a complete composition..." Includes five photographs of Wright's Oak Park Home. (Note: These are some of the earliest images of Wright's home on record.) (Sweeney 26)

The Play Room, East End
The Play Room, West End Date: 1899 Title: House Beautiful - December 1899 (Digital) (Published monthly by Herbert S. Stone & Company, Chicago)
Author: Granger, Alfred H.
Description: "An Architects Studio. When one attempts to describe almost any modern building, the first question to be asked is, "What style?" ...One of the most radical of these opponents is Mr. Frank L. Wright, whose house and studio I have the privilege of describing... One's first impression of the dinning-room is its simplicity - no rugs, no curtains, and only the necessary furniture, which, however, is in perfect harmony with the room. One entire end of the room opposite the fireplace is practically of glass, laid in leading of a very delicate design, which was evidently inspired by the lotus flower. The harmony of color between the brown and the red is perfect, and is accentuated (if one can accentuate a harmony) by the color of the walls and ceiling, which are covered with arras of a soft brown, and which give to the entire room a golden tone such as one sees in a rich sunset. In the center of the ceiling is a design of exquisite tracery, through which at night a soft light filters, and gives to the whole room a warm, rich glow. Includes 11 photographs and illustrations.

Author: Colson, Ethel M.
Description: "A Yellow Dining-Room". The Warren McArthur house. "It is difficult to decorate a dining room successfully, and this for a variety of reasons. Softness without dimness, warmth without stuffiness, simplicity without bareness, and plenty of light with no suggestion of either garishness or glare, are apparently conflicting demands by no means easy to reconcile.
The dining-room of the Warren McArthur house at 4852 Kenwood Avenue, Chicago, is so nearly perfect that the tale of its carefully planned attractions should be useful to others. Evolved slowly, with the aid of much thought and study, and many experiments, the scheme has individuality and charm. Certain minor problems in connection with the beautiful room remain to be solved. Fifteen by eighteen feet in size, it is distinguished by a large, two-sided corner window of southwestern exposure, so planned and arranged that it can never be shadowed by encroaching walls or obstructions. Its quaintly leaded panes swing out upon the flower garden just beyond. A door directly opposite this window leads to a spacious and convenient pantry. Opposite this door, again, is a double door of leaded glass similar to that in the window, and the fourth corner of the room is occupied by the duplicate..." Continue... Includes two interior photos.

Like most institutions that outlive their originators, House Beautiful was stared as a crusade.

Description: "How Fresh and Fitting Is the Furniture of Frank Lloyd Wright in Traditional Rooms. There is a warmth, richness and dignity in traditional furniture that we cannot - and should not - give up. Yet there is often a time when we should welcome the change, freshening up, as it were, of our rooms, if it did not mean sacrificing all these fine, traditional values in the process. Here, we believe, you can see the virtual miracle of the furniture of the world's greatest modern designer at ease, at home, yet always itself, in an atmosphere field with the familiar furniture of the past. Might one say these pieces by Frank Lloyd Wright - the chests, the tables, the open shelves - seem to bring more life, more warmth, more richness and interest to the traditional pieces then they had had without them..."

Title: Tastemaker. Elizabeth Gordon, House Beautiful and the Postwar American Home (Hard Cover DJ) (Published by Yale Univerity Press, New Haven and London)
Author: Penick, Monica
Description: The author, Monica Penick, extensively covers the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and the collaboration with Elizabeth Gordon and House Beautiful.
Dust Jacket: From 1941 to 1964, House Beautiful magazines crusading editor-in-chief Elizabeth Gordon introduced and promoted her vision of good design and better living to an extensive middle-class American readership. Her innovative magazine-sponsored initiatives, including House Beautifuls Pace Setter House Program and the Climate Control Project, popularized a livable and decidedly American version of postwar modern architecture. Gordons devotion to what she called the American Style attracted the attention of Frank Lloyd Wright, who became her ally and collaborator. Gordons editorial programs reshaped ideas about American living and, by extension, what consumers bought, what designers made, and what manufacturers brought to market. This incisive assessment of Gordons influence as an editor, critic, and arbiter of domestic taste reflects more broadly on the cultures of consumption and identity in postwar America. Nearly 200 images are featured, including work by Ezra Stoller, Maynard Parker, and Julius Shulman. This important book champions an often-neglected sourcethe consumer magazineas a key tool for deepening our understanding of mid-century architecture and design.

Title: House Beautiful - Jan/Feb 2020 (Published by Hearst, New York)
Author: Keller, Hadley
Description: Restoration of the Celeste and Socrates Zaferios Residence, Blauvelt, New York. (1961 - S.410). This was one of Marshall Erdman's Prefabricated homes #1. Rewriting History. It's every architecture lover's dream: You're strolling through real estate websites and stumble upon a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house, still inhabited by its original owners, in virtually the same condition it was when Wright approve the plans almost 60 years ago. "Being the cynical New Yorker, I didn't believe it at first," laughs Manhattan - based designer Sarah Andersen-Magness. " called the realtor immediately and asked, Is this real? If it is, I want to come see you today." " Suffice it to say: The house was indeed real, and now here Andersen-Magness is, two years later, telling the story of her pain staking renovation while perched on a sofa that Wright specified for the home (one of three prefab models he designed with Marshall Erdman). Includes 11 photographs of the home by Adrian Gaut.
