This significant architect was raised as Southern California aristocracy, as an heir to one of the founders of Rand McNally & Company, and grew up to influence the course of architectural history in California. Illustrated with archival photographs that document Neff's family life and professional accomplishments, journalist Diane Kanner's narrative offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of residential architecture in Southern California.--From publisher description.
