Tweed Courthouse Cl

The story of the $90 million historic preservation of a designated New York City landmark. Focusing on the methodology of preservation technology, this book presents the restoration and adaptive reuse of the magnificent building, built by New York's crooked "Boss" Tweed, as an exemplar of preservation practice. The project is unique, but the approach and techniques utilized in the work have application for saving other public buildings. 150 color and 100 black-and-white illustrations.
