1. no one compared to mr. Stanford White!
2. Its funny that he happens to reference THE DONALD in the beginning . I dunno. Its late and whatever. Fuck you here's a documentary.
3. A pity he was a rapist. Of underage girls, no less.
4. What a great series!
5. he seems to me somehow like a more extravagant version of what wren did for london
6. So....he went to Europe,,,,
7. What a pretentious piece of crap
8. If Stanford ruined her - her psycho husband totally destroyed her - the obsessive selfish freak!
9. Dick Cavett - one of a select group of unforgettable voices of my era -
   
   audio - equally as valuable to history as video - it demonstrates such a great flavor.
10. Fascinating! Completely bonkers!
11. "Agasta sins Gardens"?? I just can't perceive this sculptures name correct ----
12. A question : How is it that the true builders (workers ,constructors) of whatever construction , are never mentioned nor either have economical interes after concluding such a task ?...................value use : Building /Value exchange: ?
13. Gawrsh! Manhattan is now host to Donaldo Trumpus heir to Alaric the hun! Beaux Art or the like destruction is his forte is his desire. First the Commodore Hotel next the Art Deco Boutique at 57th & 5th and now the Beaux Art Post Office. I've got a further project for the slumlord/architect to wit: the Beaux Art Mausoleum of Art at 82nd & Fifth to be replaced by his architectural forte: Lego Blocks on steroids!!!
14. Quiz: Who was the lawyer who defended both Thaw and Sinclair?
15. Damn that Harry K. Thaw! He was the other pedophile.
16. What a hottie, with that fantastic beard, and the crewcut. And the red hair must have made him even hotter. I suppose the way he packaged himself was a facet of his design genius. He sure didn't age well, though. It seems that people who go nonstop, frequently come to tragic and untimely ends.
17. Dick, always look like he tied one on..
18. When Sanford white was young, he looked like Kirk Douglass, when he played as Van Gogh.
19. If he had such great taste..why was he with Evelyn.
20. didnt he rape lil girls?
