The Autobiography of an Apartment House

This books 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 books 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.
