Exploring the evolution of skyscrapers from the 1880s, this book examines how these towering structures influenced urban life and racial dynamics in American cities. Focusing on the emergence of tall buildings in response to diverse populations post-Reconstruction, it traces the architectural journey from Chicago's early towers to the iconic Empire State Building. Adrienne Brown delves into the interplay between architectural scale and racial identity, offering insights into how these environments reflect and shape societal understandings of race.
