Restoring the Century-old Residential Glories of the East River

New York: The Author.1925. Item #014069

The history of the East Side at the River between 50th and 90th Sts., and how it lost its mojo to Fifth Avenue. But now the rich are restless again, and looking for a new environment with quiet, greenery, and grace. Written with Brown's usual "Little Olde New York" sensibility and background, but clearly a promotional piece for the development of Sutton Place. First edition.18.5 cm; 41 pp.; 11 full-page plates from wood engravings. A very good copy in gray boards with paper label to front board.

Price: $30.00
