“One should not overlook
the flavor of the fast-disappearing older structures which testify to the
sophisticated, cosmopolitan and international atmosphere of Manhattan’s
yesteryears… The contrast of the
old with the new, of century-old cast-iron facades with sparkling chrome, glass
and steel, is part of the city’s drama and endless fascination.”
- “Four Walking Tours of Modern Architecture in
New York City,” The Museum of Modern Art and the Municipal Art Society of New
York, Prepared by Ada Louise Huxtable; Distributed by Doubleday & Company,
Inc., Third Printing 1966.
