Book Description:
Rich with archival research, The Once and Future New York documents the emergence of historic preservation in New York at the turn of the twentieth century. Against the charge that preservationists were antiquarians concerned only with significant buildings, Mason instead asserts that many were social reformers interested in recovering the city’s history. Even more important, he demonstrates that historic preservation in this period was integral to modern urban development.
