Ely Jacques Kahn. New York Architect (reprint)

One of the fabled three Napoleons of New York (with Raymond Hood and Ralph Walker) yet almost unknown today, Ely Jacques Kahn had a nearly half-century career and some three dozen of his buildings still grace the New York cityscape.Trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, he was known for his modern polychrome decoration and setback skyscrapers.
