The American skyscraper, 1850-1940. A Celebration of Height.

anfaga · 12-30-2015, 08:57 PM

This book is an encyclopedia of early skyscrapers in America. Written in a chronological-order style, it presents a clear story of the progression from midrise to what we now call ‘Skyscraper’. The author, Joseph J. Korom, Jr., has researched a broad array of American skyscrapers to compile 287 buildings into this book’s 472 pages. While not every skyscraper that has been built before 1940 in America is included here, it does include a steady progression of projects from the very beginning of Tall Buildings to the mid twentieth century.
This book makes it quite clear that finance, technology, innovation, transportation, and a growing economy have all contributed to define the American skyscraper. Without the steam engine, our nineteenth century cities could not have grown. The international trade that blossomed in the late nineteenth century fueled the drive to the sky in Manhattan and Chicago. Our country’s westward expansion created large corporations with headquarters in major cities. These towers are a result of building our American financial empire.
