Her new book, TRIUMVIRATE: McKim, Mead & White – Art, Architecture, Scandal, and Class In America’s Gilded Age, will appear this fall from Alfred A . Knopf.  She has written on architecture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries including, among others, The Villard Houses: Life Story of a Landmark.  New York, 1980.  Her next book will be a saunter up Fifth Avenue from Washington Square North to 95th Street at the height of its importance, a century ago.  Although almost every house is long gone, readers will be able to examine each house, meet the owner/renter and revel in his/her collections.  It will be a fictive house tour of the homes immortalized in novels by Edith Wharton and Henry James.   She would then like to write about the German Americans who built the great department stores.

Broderick has lectured widely, done articles and reviews and has volunteered for various  for civic associations.

She has had the joy to work with NYU students for over thirty years.
