Throughout a fifty-year career in St. Paul, architect Edwin H. Lundie (1886-1972) designed more than three hundred projects, predominantly residences. His architectural designs, along with the Prairie School inventions of Purcell and Elmslie and the modernist themes of Ralph Rapson, are collectively considered the best work of Minnesota architects in the 20th century. What set Lundie apart from his colleagues was his devotion to detail and love of fine craftsmanship. This book documents Lundie's architecture through color photography, plan graphics, and his drawings and renderings.

The Lundie "Companion" is a comprehensive biography of a renowned Minnesota traditionalist architect. It includes interviews, first-hand accounts, previous Lundie scholarship, a listing of all of his commissions and proposals, 1919-1972, with city-home addresses and over 75 images with the catalog of his architectural library. This book reveals how Lundie achieved levels of mastery along three fundamental areas through architect-client synergy: beginning with his long period of apprenticeship and artistic development, followed by his embrace of traditional architecture with the creation of a design vocabulary uniquely his own, finally his derivation of beautiful original designs through a distinct material-centric approach. This "Companion" is fully complementary to the 2016 hardcover, Edwin H. Lundie ~ Five Decades ~ A Journey of Art & Architecture.
