Excerpt: 

This is a study of New York City's most striking architectural entities,
its high-rise buildings -- or "skyscrapers" -- which have given the
city much of its nature and prestige and have in fact largely
formed the impression of this city in people's minds.

Annotation: 

Expansive site with numerous histories, images and links of or about New York City's skyscrapers past and present. Information about the buildings is organized by architectural style, era, and geography. Facts concerning architects, press clippings and an extensive bibliography are also included.
