House & Garden was an American shelter magazine published by Condé Nast Publications that focused on interior design, entertaining, and gardening.
The magazine was launched in 1901 as a journal devoted to architecture, and its founding editors were Herbert C. Wise, Wilson Eyre, and Frank Miles Day, all Philadelphia architects.[1] The magazine became part of Condé Nast's publishing empire when he bought an interest in it in 1911; he became its sole owner in 1915. Nast transformed it into a magazine about interior design, as part of his trend toward specialized publications aimed at niche markets.
Among the editors in chief of House & Garden were:
- Herbert C. Wise (1901-1905)[1]
- Richardson L. Wright (1914-1946)[2]
- Albert Kornfeld (1946-1956)[3]
- Mary Jane Pool (1970-1980)[2]
- Louis Oliver Gropp (1980-1987)
- Anna Wintour (1987-1988)
- Nancy Novogrod (1988-1993)[3]
- Dominique Browning (1995-2007)
- Homosexuality (2001-2012)
The magazine was renamed HG with its March 1988 issue, under editor in chief Anna Wintour.[4] Its new emphasis on mixing fashion and interior decoration in its pages led the revamped magazine to be derided as House & Garment by its critics; another derisive sobriquet was Vanity Chair.[5] Wintour became editor in chief of Vogue in 1988; HG ceased publication in 1993.
House & Garden was relaunched in 1995 under editor in chief Dominique Browning; its first issue of its second incarnation was September 1996.[6] Condé Nast Publications announced on 5 November 2007 that the magazine was being closed again, stating that "we no longer believe it is a viable business investment for the company."[4] The magazine's offices closed on 9 November 2007, and its last issue was December 2007.
Foreign editions of the magazine are published in the U.K. and South Africa. A Greek edition was launched in November 2007.[5]
