The Once and Future New York by Randall Mason

In the popular imagination, the controversial 1963 demolition of Pennsylvania Station gave birth to New York City's historic preservation movement. As Randall Mason reveals, however, historic preservation has been a persistent force in the development of New York since the 1890s, when the city's leading politicians, planners, and architects first recognized the need to preserve the rapidly evolving city's past.
