Cityscapes Revealed: Highlights From the Collection August 10, 2009

Anchored by a series of large architectural elements, this walking tour of the cityscape is complemented by exquisitely detailed drawings, rare, early-20th-century photographs, and smaller-scale fragments from National Historic Landmarks. The exhibit highlights the collection's strength, namely the building materials, architectural styles, and construction practices that defined urban America from the end of the 19th through the first half of the 20th centuries.
