Gilded Age, New York


Two of the most influential arbiters of taste were Edith Wharton, the aristocratic New York writer of Novels and Essays, and Ogden Codman Jr., an Architect and Interior Designer. 


Ogden Codman Jr. House in Manhattan, abandoned 1927

They co-wrote the book The Decoration of Houses, which emphasized clean, simple lines hearkening back to Georgian proportion, decorative styles and colors. This was in direct revolt of the over-done, heavily decorated houses of the Victorian Era.
