Morningside Heights: A History of Its Architecture and Development Hardcover - 1998
by Andrew Dolkart
In the latter 19th century, a number of New York City institutions built structures to house their organizations in the area known as Morningside Heights. This richly illustrated book explores the varied architectural styles and monuments built by these institutions and traces the history of the neighborhood in lively detail. 155 photos. 5 maps.
From the rear cover
The announcement during the final years of the nineteenth century that the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Columbia College, St. Luke's Hospital, Teachers College, and Barnard College would construct new complexes on Morningside Heights heralded the transformation of this geographically isolated area into "the Acropolis of New York". Over the next several decades, these institutions, as well as Union Theological Seminary, Jewish Theological Seminary, the Institute of Musical Art/Julliard School of Music, and Riverside Church created a neighborhood of spectacular institutional buildings. In this lavishly illustrated book, Andrew S. Dolkart explores the richly varied architecture and history of these complexes and of the surrounding residential neighborhood and thus reveals a fascinating chapter in the life of New York City.
