Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 1,092.31 $Dust jacket notes: "A pioneer of modern architeccture in America, Henry John Klutho came to Jacksonville, Florida, in 1901 to help rebuild a city leveled by fire. His greatest architectural works, built before World War I, belong to what was then a radical movement in American architecture, now called the Prairie School. As the photographs, drawings, and text of Robert Broward's book unfold, Klutho's legacy in Florida, far removed from the midwestern center of this movement, provides new evidence of the vitality and influence of the Prairie School in America. When he first met Henry John Klutho in 1950, Broward had just returned from an apprenticeship with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin.

In The Architecture of Henry John Klutho, Broward documents Klutho's long and productive career and analyzes Klutho's innovations. Klutho was the first to use water-jetted steel caissons for concrete pilings, and his high-rise buildings were the first constructed of reinforced concrete in the South. He often presented ideas for the betterment of his adopted city, including, in 1916, a railroad terminal raised in the air to alleviate the increasing automobile traffic. And over many years he strove to awaken Jacksonville to the possibilities of its beautiful riverfront site...."
