Tall commercial buildings, like Bankers Trust, are covered on pages 72 to 75 of City of Brick and Steel: The Structure of New York Buildings. And, of course, old skyscrapers in general are the topic of The Structure of Skyscrapers.
My December book talk sponsored by the AIANY Historic Buildings Committee is now available on video: here. My January book talk at the Skyscraper Museum last week is available: here. The Structure of Skyscrapers in America 1871-1900:Their History and Preservation is available: here.
Just a reminder that if you’d like to read about the history of building technology in a more thorough format than half-page blog posts, The Structure of Skyscrapers in America may be of interest.

I’ll be giving a book talk about The Structure of Skyscrapers at the Skyscraper Museum (virtually) next Tuesday. Details and registration at the museum website: here. I don’t like to repeat talks I’ve already given, so this time I’ll be talking about how industrialization of the building process helped lead designers to create skyscrapers.
