Reviews for An American Palace: Chicago's Samuel M. Nickerson House

"""Saving the ornate Samuel M. Nickerson House has given a new generation the chance to experience the extraordinary architectural legacy of America's Gilded Age. This book is the next best thing to exploring the mansion and its fabulous collection of decorative arts in person, and it is a wonderful celebration of the home and the skillful restoration that brought it back to its original glory."" (Stephanie Meeks, president and CEO, National Trust for Historic Preservation)"""
