Mosette Broderick is the director of the Urban Design and Architecture Studies Program and the Historical and Sustainable Architecture M.A. Program at New York University.  In Triumvirate - McKim, Mead & White - Art, Architecture, Scandal, and Class in America's Gilded Age, she presents a rich, fascinating saga of the most influential, far-reaching architectural firm of their time and of the dazzling triumvirate—Charles McKim, William Mead, and Stanford White—who came together, bound by the notion that architecture could help shape a nation in transition. McKim, Mead & White built houses for the Astors, Joseph Pulitzer, the Vanderbilts, Henry Villard, and J. P. Morgan as well as designed Trinity Church in Boston, the Boston Public Library, the Players club of New York, the Century Association, the University and Metropolitan clubs, the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City, and the first Roman arch in America for Washington Square, among many others.
