Descrizione

This is a fine hardcover copy with no wear at all. Completely clean inside and out. No dust jacket. Stated first edition. Horace Gifford (1932- 1992) was a modernist architect who developed a beach house style for Fire Island. He built his first house there in 1961. Over the next three decades he built over 60 vacation homes across Fire Island. The serene world of Fire Island in the 1960's attracted the middle class and celebrities alike. Montgomery Clift, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor could be seen there walking Fire Island's famous boardwalks. Truman Capote wrote Breakfast at Tiffany's there. Horace Gifford died relatively young of AIDS in 1992. He deserves this book which is for everyone who while walking around Fire Island wondered who built these houses? Meticulously researched and full of vintage black & white as well as recent color photographs. Project List. Bibliography. 12" high X 9" wide, 202 pages. Large heavy book, foreign shipping will be extra. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.
