About me

Introduction I am an architectural historian and the co-author, with Robin Lynn, of "Guide to New York City Urban Landscapes," published in 2013 by W.W. Norton. I am the author of eleven books, including "An Architectural Guidebook to Brooklyn" (Gibbs Smith, 2001) and, with Henry Hope Reed, "The New York Public Library: The Architecture and Decoration of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building" (W.W. Norton, 2011). In 2011, Travel + Leisure magazine named me one of the 13 best tour guides in the world (one of only two in the U.S.). I live in Brooklyn, New York. If you are interested in illustrated lectures or walking tours based on my books or blogs, please contact me at francis [dot] morrone [at] gmail [dot] com.
