Join us for a lively discussion with Michael Greenburg, author of the recently released book The Great Miscalculation: The Race to Save New York City's Citicorp Tower from NYU Press. Following the story of the Citicorp tower’s conception and quick redesign to prevent collapse, Greenburg gives insight into the first of its kind partnership between church and corporation--Saint Peter's Church and Citibank. Learn more about this often overlooked part of New York City history in the space that is at the heart of it all.
