Stern<\/a> designed museums; skyscraper condominiums\u2014most famously 15 Central Park West in New York; a presidential library, and a good deal more. Above all, in his numerous houses, he revived the Shingle Style, the informal and flexible 19th-century vernacular that is the most American of architectural creations. It is therefore fitting that he died on Nov. 27, at age 86, on that most American of holidays, Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"paragraph\" data=\"[object Object]\" class=\"css-1akm6h5-Paragraph e1e4oisd0\">Had he never designed a single building, he would still be remembered as one of the great historians of American architecture. He wrote or co-wrote at least 16 books, among them a brilliant monograph on George Howe and his \u201cParadise Planned: The Garden Suburb and the Modern City,\u201d a massive study of American urbanism. Most important is his monumental, multivolume history of New York\u2019s built environment since the Civil War\u2014the latest entry, \u201cNew York 2020: Architecture and Urbanism at the Beginning of a New Century,\u201d appearing a month before his death.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a92025 Dow Jones &amp; Company, Inc.
