| Summary: | About American architecture as designed in the Classical Beaux-Arts manner during the Gilded Age - that is, between the Civil War and World War I - and its extension to the early 1940s, as it paralleled the rise of the Modern mode. It is about the transition that occurred as the nation changed from being mainly agrarian and largely concerned with internal matters, such as the settlement of the vast interior of the West, to being a mighty industrial and financial giant of international standing and global concerns. Yet the leaders of the Gilded Age chose to accept the nation's heritage as a beneficiary of Western culture. In erecting and decorating its major civic buildings, they chose the classicism of the Beaux-Arts style to assert America's new leadership role, to declare its high-mindedness, to display the creative energies of its financiers, industrialists, and mega-merchants, its inventors, architects, painters, sculptors, artisans, and keepers of culture, and to house its institutions and commercial enterprises such as courthouses, libraries, art museums, train stations, and social clubs |

It is about the transition that occurred as the nation changed from being mainly agrarian and largely concerned with internal matters, such as the settlement of the vast interior of the West, to being a mighty industrial and financial giant of international standing and global concerns. Yet the leaders of the Gilded Age chose to accept the nation's heritage as a beneficiary of Western culture. In erecting and decorating its major civic buildings, they chose the classicism of the Beaux-Arts style to assert America's new leadership role, to declare its high-mindedness, to display the creative energies of its financiers, industrialists, and mega-merchants, its inventors, architects, painters, sculptors, artisans, and keepers of culture, and to house its institutions and commercial enterprises such as courthouses, libraries, art museums, train stations, and social clubs Boston Public Library (DE-588)4307349-9 gnd rswk-swf New York Public Library (DE-588)1006049-2 gnd rswk-swf Pierpont Morgan Library (DE-588)1006048-0 gnd rswk-swf Metropolitan Museum of Art (DE-588)1008914-7 gnd rswk-swf Library of Congress (DE-588)35626-8 gnd rswk-swf Weltausstellung 1893 Chicago, Ill.
