Beneath the glossy image of Tribeca lies a neighborhood sprung from New York City's earliest days. From Dutch settlers to artist pioneers, the soul of Tribeca is its history, filled with colorful characters and fashioned by the forces of social and economic change. Oliver E. Allen is your guide among the textile barons and food merchants, the rail magnates and roustabouts and others who have walked Tribeca's cobblestoned streets over the past three centuries. Told in delightful detail and illustrated with more than 150 exquisitely reproduced archival photos and drawings, "Tribeca: A Pictorial History" brings it all to life. A history columnist for The Trbeca Trib since 1994 and a resident of the neighborhood since 1982, Allen knows Tribeca's story and its architecture like no one else. This beautiful hardcover book (144 pages, 11x8.5 inches) is perfect for any lover of New York City history.
