The Autobiography of an Apartment House

Synopsis

This Book's Introduction Asks, If Buildings Could Talk, What Would They Say? If They Could Listen, See, Remember-above All If They Could Speak-what Would We Hear From Them? Through Twenty Photographs Of People Who Live, Or Who Once Lived, In It, A 90-year-old Apartment Building Narrates Its Own History. Written Pieces Accompanying Each Portrait Help Explore The Intertwining Of The Lives Of These People-some Young And Just Starting Out, Others Well Established With Families And Children, Still Others In Their Later Years. The Book's Introduction Tells The Stories Of A Number Of Others For Whom, By Merit Of Their Departures In One Way Or Another, It Was Not Possible To Take Portraits.
