From the organizer
Henry C. Millman, author of the new book Ornamental Cornices: Manhattan’s Sheet-Metal Masterpieces, continues the Museum’s fall focus on brilliant uses of building materials in the urban environment. In the late 19th and early 20th century, the facades of many residential and commercial buildings in America’s cities were crowned with sheet-metal cornices that blossomed into elaborate and impressive expressions of architectural eclecticism.
