Reviews
"John Volk was one of the "big five" architects of Palm Beach, who designed over 2,000 projects, among them the Royal Poinciana Plaza and the Everglades Club." -HOUSE & HOME
"How did Palm Beach get its distinctive look? There's no one correct answer-except, perhaps, John and Jane Volk. This new book celebrates the style that the architect and preservationist helped champion in the tony Florida enclave, and explores how their shared passion helped influence the way money looks for generations to come." -TOWN AND COUNTRY
"Whilethe book honors Volk's architecture and his enormous impact, italso celebrates his wife's contribution to Palm Beach and herdevotion to protecting the town and its historic character. Duringhis career, John Volk was commissioned to design over 2,000projects, among them the Royal Poinciana Plaza and additionsand renovations to the Everglades Club." -DUJOUR
"In her new book Palm Beach Style: The Architecture and Advocacy of John and Jane Volk, Jane S. Day explores-through glamorous visuals-the "love story" of architect John Volk and his artist-preservationist wife, Jane, whose work on the Royal Poinciana Plaza, the additions and renovations to the Everglades Club, and numerous examples of inimitably elegant design and devotion to historic preservation is so resonant throughout the Volk's home of Palm Beach that it can still be felt on almost every street in town." -PALMER PB
