Distinguished American architect (1853–1906), one of the leading figures of the “Beaux Arts” movement, best known for his opulent mansions and for the second Madison Square Garden. White’s Madison Square Garden was topped by a nude statue of Diana that was purportedly modeled after the stage actress Evelyn Nesbit. Nesbit’s outraged husband confronted White in the rooftop theater of the New York landmark and fatally shot him. TLS, one page, 5.25 x 8.5, McKim, Mead & White, Architects letterhead, November 13, 1890. The famed architect references his design for the West Point Monument. In full: “As soon as we have the West Point Monument in its final shape, I shall be very happy to send you a drawing of it.” In very good condition, with creasing to the left edge, strips of mild toning to the edges, show-through from a block of even toning on reverse, and scattered ink blotches.
