:''For the litigant former stockbroker Edward Blum, see'' Bush v. Vera Edward Blum (1867 –1944) was an architect, born in Paris, France who, with his brother George, designed apartment and office buildings, most of which are in New York City. Edward Blum received his degree in architecture from Columbia University in 1899. Edward and George studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.〔http://nycarchitecture.columbia.edu/global/0243_2_key_figures.html〕 They are known for their Art Nouveau and Art Deco apartment houses,〔http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/02/realestate/02scap.html?_r=0〕 examples of which include the Phaeton, The Rockfall, (The Admaston ), The Dallieu, The Gramercy House and (The Gramont ).〔http://www.the-admaston.com/blum_beauties.html〕〔Gray, Christopher. "(Streetscapes/The Blum Apartment Houses; Deft, Nonconformist Touches, Many Since Vanished )", New York Times, 17 October 1993. Retrieved 25 November 2014.〕 Christopher Gray of the New York Times opined that the "buildings do everything differently...They treat the surface of the building almost like a textile, a rich continuous surface. They avoid any detail found in the traditional classical vocabulary. They use mosaic tile, art tile, very elongated Roman brick and sinuous panels of terra cotta. Their copperwork, for store trim or entrance canopies, is richly worked, like the cover of a medieval manuscript. Their ironwork cannot be found in any catalogue."〔Gray, Christopher. "( Streetscapes/The Blum Apartment Houses; Deft, Nonconformist Touches, Many Since Vanished )", ''New York Times'', 17 October 1993. Retrieved 25 November 2014.〕 Edward Blum died in Sunnyside, Queens, New York, aged 77.〔("Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947" ), ''Society of Architectural Historians''.
