New York 1880 - 2000

Here is a wonderful series of books that everyone who loves New York City architecture should have.
This series of five books covers the architecture of New York City from 1880 - 2000. I of course love and often use the earlier versions for research, but I also enjoy the later years. While they may be a bit expensive, they are certainly worth the cost. I also think most libraries have them and you can check them out there too. If you choose to buy from the Amazon Link, "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases", which helps to maintain this blog, two FB groups and two Instagram accounts.
