Codman, of course, was the friend and co-author to Edith Wharton's 'The Decoration of Houses'. I think a monograph on this decorator's Architect is long overdue!

If you haven’t already, walk by Ogden Codman Jr.’s own townhouse at 7 East 96th Street sometime. It is so handsome.
Make that monograph happen!!
Have you been to The Grange? Was there about 30 years ago, his family home where he was raised, a veritable lab of his style . Those Vanderbilt’s were amazing, though not Aristos...it was Alva who truly put them on the map architecturally. Both Ogden and Walter Gay... amazing though Ogden had that extra flourish which took him to greater heights.
