Book Overview

by Elizabeth Collins Cromley (Author)

Twentieth-century New York is now famous as the city of "cliff dwellers," but in the second half of the nineteenth century, middle-class apartments in Manhattan were a new--and somewhat suspect--architectural form. Alone Together presents a history of the "invention" of New York apartment houses.
