The landmarks of New York III

by Barbaralee Diamonstein

This is a revised, updated, and expanded version of The Landmarks of New York, a now-classic publication that received widespread acclaim when it first appeared in 1988. The new edition now incorporates all the landmarks designated through the fall of 1997, documenting the more than 1,000 landmarks in the five boroughs of New York City, and includes descriptions and maps of the city's 70 historic districts. The landmarks are arranged chronologically, by date of construction, giving the reader a sequential overview of the city's architectural richness and diversity, as well as its history.
