The Decorated Tenement: How Immigrant Builders and Architects Transformed the Slum in the Gilded Age
Skyscraper Museum
Historian Zachary Violette counters the standard narrative of crowded tenements and crusading urban reformers to reconstruct the role of tenement architects and builders in improving housing for the working poor. Drawing on research and fieldwork that surveyed more than 3,000 extant tenement buildings in New York and Boston, author Zachary Violette uses ornament as an entry point of his study, employing both new contemporary photography and many never-before-published historical images. 39 Battery Place.
