Ely Jacques Kahn
Jewel Stern and John A. Stuart
One of the fabled "three Napoleons" of New York (with Raymond Hood and Ralph Walker) yet almost unknown today, Ely Jacques Kahn had a nearly half-century career, and approximately three dozen of his buildings still grace the New York cityscape. Trained at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, he was known for his modern polychrome decoration and setback skyscrapers.
"A model study of one of New York's most important commercial designers. " - Christopher Gray, The New York Times
