Skyscraper National Park: Brooklyn

From the rugged Romanesque and Moorish Revival of the late 19th century to Art Deco and contemporary, Matt Postal uncovers the rich history of the Brooklyn hi-rise. Highlights include memorable structures built for the Franklin Trust Bank, Long Island/New YorkTelephone, Abraham & Straus, and a recently-constructed group of fasionable designs by Studio Gang, Alloy, and SHoP, whose copper-and-bronze Brooklyn Tower now dominates the borough’s emerging skyline.
