Some nice art, not sure I agree with the point

The Rapp "style" seems to be almost entirely derivative of a whole mish-mash of styles and pretty awful, actually, and I really don't see how there's any argument in here that he created what the book terms the Santa Fe style. According to Santa Fe themselves, Pueblo Revival style was largely created by a committee that commissioned many architects, of which Rapp was merely one (and really... not one of the better ones, based on surviving examples).
