New York Central System
ISBN: 9781531630591 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A full generation has passed since a New York Central emblem dashed across the countryside on a railroad car, but few could ever forget "the greatest railroad in the world." The New York Central System grew from an amalgamation of smaller lines stretching from Albany to Buffalo in the 1830s. Twenty years later, the lines were gathered into a single company. Its phenomenal success did not go unnoticed by Cornelius "the Commodore" Vanderbilt. In his late sixties, when most men retire, he methodically started acquiring railroads in the New York City and Hudson River region. He then acquired the...

Rochester's Historic East Avenue District
ISBN: 9781531620264 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) American cities and towns have always prided themselves on their grand avenues. The social elite and industrial captains often transformed normal thoroughfares into magnificent promenades lined with mansions to showcase their wealth. Post-Civil War America experienced a burst of this activity, but Rochester, Americas first true boomtown, had already set its sights on a grand avenue as early as 1840. The nouveau riche were anxious to establish a prestigious social colony befitting their stature. Using local and national architects, landscapers, and craftsmen, they transformed East Avenue from...

Around Lima
ISBN: 9781531606206 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Some twenty miles south of Rochester lies what was historically the "crossroads of western New York." Lima and its neighbors in the Genesee Valley are unique in many ways. An excellent network of trails had been developed by the Iroquois long before the area attracted its first permanent settler in 1788. As immigrants streamed westward, inns opened at this crossroads to serve them, and some of the travelers stayed to become farmers, tradesmen, and merchants. In the mid-1800s, Lima had several photography studios and a wealth of architectural gems, many of which still remain. Today, Lima has...

Rochester's 19th Ward
ISBN: 9781531623524 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Rochester's 19th Ward portrays one of the city's largest residential neighborhoods. The initial settlement, predating Rochester itself, was called Castle Town. It emerged around 1800 along the Genesee River, where boatmen poled flat-bottomed boats along a stretch of turbulence in the river known as the Rapids. Out of this desolate community developed a streetcar suburb, an elegant and vibrant neighborhood, designed for the modern 20th-century family. Fine homes, churches, shops, schools, and industries arose between 1900 and 1930, and the 19th Ward quickly became a prestigious address for...

Rochester's Dutchtown
ISBN: 9781531621698 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Rochester's immigrant saga is filled with compelling tales of hardship and achievement. Dutchtown--originally Deutschtown--is perhaps the most beloved immigrant neighborhood because of the tens of thousands of regional families who trace their forebears back to it. Rochester's Dutchtown tells how the neighborhood evolved out of Frankfort, a German settlement established in 1810 at the High Falls. Scenes depict countless hardworking citizens, including Italian immigrants who first arrived in the 1880s, and fascinating relics of an industrial center that thrived for nearly two centuries.
