In the popular imagination, the controversial 1963 demolition of Pennsylvania Station gave birth to New York Citys historic preservation movement. As Randall Mason reveals, however, historic preservation has been a persistent force in the development of New York since the 1890s, when the citys leading politicians, planners, and architects first recognized the need to preserve the rapidly evolving citys past. Rich with archival research, "The Once and Future New York " documents the emergence of historic preservation in New York at the turn of the twentieth century.
