Synopsis
This book memorializes the edifices and institutions that began shaping the landscape of one of the world's great cities between the 1880s to the first decades of the 20th century. This was a period when urban infrastructure, engineering, and architecture took unprecedented strides forward. New York's iconic skyscrapers began to reshape the skyline as steel frames and elevators made unprecedented height possible. The book also captures the essence of several cultural, financial, and religious institutions in the city at the time, while also providing insights into the lives of everyday New Yorkers. The text is richly illustrated with archival photographs that capture the essence of a rapidly changing metropolis.
