About This Book
"The Historical American Buildings Survey, or HABS, began in 1933 as a relief program employing architects to record American buildings. Today, it is regarded as one of the most remarkable programs of the New Deal. At its inception, it was but one of innumerable federal assistance projects, but unlike the many that disappeared as fast as federal emergency funding ended, HABS survived and has continued to the present time.".
"Recording a Vanishing Legacy presents accounts by HABS founding principals, architects, and preservationists that articulate the evolving nature of historic preservation and differing notions about what is worth recording and why."--BOOK JACKET.
