Seeking New York is a richly detailed book that traces the architectural and social history of Manhattan, one building at a time.
The book explores the seemingly never-ending depths of history of Manhattan, through both the most famous buildings’ histories, as well as the lesser architectural survivors.
During his presentation, alongside the details about each building’s architect, dates, and styles, the book’s author, Tom Miller will reveal the joys and achievements, trials and tribulations, and the tragedies and scandals of those who lived within. He will describe how the ever-changing face of Manhattan is captured through its structures and their unique stories.
“Through these tales deftly told by Tom Miller, emerge not only individual nuggets of history, but a picture of the island itself, as it rises as a centre for world power.” – National Geographic Traveler.
Tom Miller moved to New York City in 1979 from Dayton, Ohio, bringing with him a passion for buildings. He currently holds the rank of Inspector within the NYPD’s Auxiliary Police Force. In 2009 he started a blog, Daytonian in Manhattan (www.daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com), which has now reviewed over a thousand buildings, statues, and other points of interest.
