As Randall Mason reveals, however, historic preservation has been a persistent force in the development of New York since the 1890's, when the city's leading politicians, planners, and architects first recognized the need to preserve the rapidly evolving city's past. Rich with archival research, The Once and Future New York documents the emergence of historic preservation in New York at the turn of the twentieth century.
