Preserving New York is the largely unknown inspiring story of the
origins of New York City's nationally acclaimed landmarks law. The
decades of struggle behind the law, its intellectual origins, the
men and women who fought for it, the forces that shaped it, and the
buildings lost and saved on the way to its ultimate passage, span
from 1913 to 1965. Intended for the interested public as well as
students of New York City history, architecture, and preservation
itself, over 100 illustrations help reveal a history richer and
more complex than the accepted myth that the landmarks law sprang
from the wreckage of the great Pennsylvania Station. Images include
those by noted historic photographers as well as those from
newspaper accounts of the time. Forgotten civic leaders such as
Albert S. Bard and lost buildings including the Brokaw Mansions,
are unveiled in an extensively researched narrative bringing this
essential episode in New York's history to future generations
tasked with protecting the city's landmarks. For the first time,
the story of how New York won the right to protect its treasured
buildings, neighborhoods and special places is brought together to
enjoy, inform, and inspire all who love New York.
