Winner of the 2007 Excellence in Historic Preservation Award presented by the Preservation League of New York State Winner of the 2007 Building Typology Award presented by the Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America New York's Army National Guard armories are among the most imposing monuments to the role of the citizen soldier in American military history. In New York's Historic Armories, Nancy L. Todd draws on archival research as well as historic and contemporary photographs and drawings to trace the evolution of the armory as a specific building type in American architectural and military history. The result of a ten-year collaboration between the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs, this illustrated history presents information on all known armories in the state as well as the units associated with them, and will serve as a valuable reference for readers interested in general, military, and architectural history. Built to house local units of the state's volunteer militia, armories served as arms storage facilities, clubhouses for the militiamen, and civic monuments symbolizing New York's determination to preserve domestic law and order through military might. Approximately 120 armories were built in New York State from the late eighteenth century to the middle of the twentieth, and most date from the last quarter of the nineteenth century, when the National Guard was America's primary domestic peacekeeper during the post–Civil War era of labor-capital unrest. Together, New York's armories chronicle the history of the volunteer militia, from its emergence during the early Republican Era, through its heyday during the Gilded Age as the backbone of the American military system, to its early twentieth-century role as the nation's primary armed reserve force.

From the urban affairs correspondent of the New York Times--the story of a city through twenty-seven structures that define it. As New York is poised to celebrate its four hundredth anniversary, New York Times correspondent Sam Roberts tells the story of the city through bricks, glass, wood, and mortar, revealing why and how it evolved into the nation's biggest and most influential. From the seven hundred thousand or so buildings in New York, Roberts selects twenty-seven that, in the past four centuries, have been the most emblematic of the city's economic, social, and political evolution. He describes not only the buildings and how they came to be, but also their enduring impact on the city and its people and how the consequences of the construction often reverberated around the world. A few structures, such as the Empire State Building, are architectural icons, but Roberts goes beyond the familiar with intriguing stories of the personalities and exploits behind the unrivaled skyscraper's construction. Some stretch the definition of buildings, to include the city's oldest bridge and the landmark Coney Island Boardwalk. Others offer surprises: where the United Nations General Assembly first met; a hidden hub of global internet traffic; a nondescript factory that produced billions of dollars of currency in the poorest neighborhood in the country; and the buildings that triggered the Depression and launched the New Deal. With his deep knowledge of the city and penchant for fascinating facts, Roberts brings to light the brilliant architecture, remarkable history, and bright future of the greatest city in the world.

The Origins and History of The Village of Yorkville in The City of New York is an original historical work in local history. The village was located on the island of Manhattan within the physical limits of New York City. Situated in what is now the East 80s between the East River and 8th avenue. The research for the work took place over a period of several years. Searching tax records. Common Council Minutes. The minutes of The Court of New Amsterdam. Fire and Police Department records. Church histories. Diaries, Manuscripts, Letters, Newspapers and Magazines. Recollections and Personal Interviews. The goal was to bring under one roof, so to speak, the existing information so that a picture emerges showing a microcosm of the growth of the city. The book answers questions of why and where streets were opened. What were the motives of the various people who settled in an area so far from the city. Who were the main personalities that emerged to lead its inhabitants ? What support did the municipal government provide, if any ? The activities of the village during the draft riots of 1863. The advent of railroad and horse car service. For almost 50 years the village existed independently. Long before the City of New York grew that far north from the battery to absorb it. During those 50 years streets and avenues were opened in the village in accordance with the Street Plan of the New York City. Most were opened years before the city reached that part of Manhattan. The development of the transportation and road construction on Manhattan during the 19th century is well documented. The role the village played in both of those activities is discussed as well. Overall, it is an informative and valuable work for anyone interested in the history and development of The City of New York, from the perspective of an independent community growing in its midst. It is also well illustrated with many photographs of buildings no longer in existence. Several are one of a kind, taken by the author himself. It is fine book for history lovers.
