Rosario Candela & the New York Apartment, 1927–1937: The Architecture of the Age by David Netto, Paul Goldberger,
and Peter Pennoyer

They weren’t schoolboy crushes, but pretty close. Walking to class at Buckley in the East 70s, writes the interior designer and architecture scholar David Netto in Rosario Candela & the New York Apartment, 1927–1937, certain buildings on those white-glove blocks “found me only looking up.”

Barely out of Yale when he joined The New York Times as an architecture critic, Paul Goldberger was struck by how many of the luxury apartment buildings he admired for their particular brand of stylish New York opulence were by an architect “I’d never heard of.”
