Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... people who like a quiet walk along grass-y spots and to rest on a bench near some flower garden. The Dowling measure, lately passed by the New York Senate, gives the park commission power to turn the Speedway into a public park. Of late years, park possibilities within the congested street districts have practically reached their limit. Hence the necessity arose to go beyond the crowded districts for recreation areas. The most notable of these is in the Bronx section. In 19o7 the Parkway Reservation was created, and a Bronx Parkway Commission appointed. Now thirty thousand acres of beautiful country in Westchester and Putnam Counties, owned by New York, are connected with the city by the Bronx River valley, acquired by law. This is a stretch of fifteen and a half miles of river and park lands. Through wise direction and thoughtful planning, the Commission has cleared the river of sewerage, provided a driveway for cars, cleared the region of billboards, and established wooded areas, play fields and facilities for water sports. The MUNICIPAL ART SoCIETY has championed the creation of new breathing spots in various sections of the city. In 19O3, President Calvin Tomkins appointed a committee to make inquiry regarding future needs of parks and park areas. The committee made a report containing several features which have since been adopted. Since 19O2 the SoCIETY has had a Committee on Flowers, Vines and Area Planting, in an endeavor to stimulate among the citizens of our city a love of natural adornment upon the buildings and streets. The Brooklyn Committee on Tuberculosis has been active in its fight against the dread disease. To bring the importance of the matter before the high school pupils of our greater city, the Committee inaugurated...

Preserving New York
Author: Anthony Wood
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136766081
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 603
Book Description
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.
