About This Item
New York: Four Walls Eight Windows, 1996. Softcover. VG. Gray & BW illus. wraps, French flaps, 168 pp., BW illus. "In October 1963 the once great Pennsylvania Stations was dismantled, piece by elegant piece carried away to a waste dump in New Jersey. Just as the classical structure was an emblem of turn-of-the-century prosperity and architectural grandeur, it became a national symbol of mindless greed and civic self-destruction fifty years later. [This book] reasserts the profound importance of our urban architecture -- culturally, socially, aesthetically. This book is more than a lament for a destroyed treasure; it not only tells a cautionary tale of the destruction of a single great building, but of our collective history." (flap).
