the same with the skyscraper. it is not supported by its skin. it is supported by its skeleton, only in the case of a skyscraper, it is a skeleton of steel. in the mid-19th century structure started going up that were proto-skyscrapers. this was the fire watchtower. imagine if you put bricks around this structure. you would have a building, wouldn't you? and the bricks wouldn't have to be doing anything to support the floors. when you look at the construction of the very top of the empire state building, you will notice a great similarity between it and that fire watchtower in myers park. now, if you had not put brick around that cast iron frame and put glass around it, you would have gotten the crystal palace. this is not the original. the original was in london. but this was the ideal. a glass framed building and here we are in the 1850's on 6th avenue with the crystal palace. if you had taken the same notion and put some cast iron cladding with huge windows, you would have gotten the building down on broadway and broome street. the facade of t

this is what makes skyscraper structure possible. when you talk about the walls of skyscrapers, they are not doing anything to support the building. hears mafic -- here is manifestation of that. this is the flatiron building. if there were no wall and this was a loadbearing building it would fall down. you have to have water. we got water in 1842 when the reservoir open. you have to have a flushing system. here we have the famous flush down wc made by mr. craper. it is also convenient to have electricity. we started getting electricity in the early 1880's. there was a byproduct of electricity, steam. all the buildings north of park avenue are built over railroad tracks. there are no basement and places to put boilers. how do they heat the buildings? from coned steam a byproduct of electricity. back to the crystal palace that tall structure on the left is the observatory. the tower was 315 feet high. people would look at the city. how did they get up there? an elevator. alisha graves otis installed the safety elevator. the first one t

nine years later half of new york's skyscrapers are in midtown. a new building goes up in midtown every 57 minutes in the 20s. so this is one of and i don't exaggerate i think one of the great city building decades in all of history. and it's a process that is accompanied by and i deal with the building boom. i deal with the architecture and the people who built the buildings and the workers, some of the mohawk indians and i deal with the concomitant revolution but a culture revolution that accompanied it that created in a sense for help to create modern america. for me the 20s and for my students i think the 20s are exciting because we start to recognize ourselves in the 20s. it's hard for me to envision having a conversation with jane addams. it would be transient and wonderful and things like that but i can see having a conversation with f. scott fitzgerald somewhere in a cafÉ here in savannah. he is a modern person and in the 20s is a modern decade. 20 became if you were recognizable. it's an exciting. not to do it in the book and all books ha
