Historic New York: Architectural Journeys in the Empire State - Photography by Andy Olenick.  Written by Richard O. Reisem.  ---
More than five years in the making, this photographic tour de force covers four centuries of landmark architecture in the Empire State. From Hudson Valley mansions and New York skyscrapers to Adirondack Great Camps and Erie Canal cobblestone structures, Historic New York: Architectural Journeys in the Empire State explores the state’s distinctive and diverse buildings and landscapes.   The 224-page coffee-table book was photographed by Andy Olenick and written by Richard O. Reisem, the same artistic team who created the award-winning Erie Canal Legacy and the best-selling 200 Years of Rochester Architecture and Gardens. This ambitious work explores more than 100 buildings -- all open to the public -- organized by 11 regional chapters.
