Commission on Building Districts and Restrictions -- Final Report -- June 2, 1916

New York: City of New York Board of Estimate and Apportionment, 1916. Cloth. Very Good +. The uncommon June 1916 "final" report on building districts and restrictions for New York City. Solid and VG+ in its crimson-red cloth, with bright gilt-titling along the front panel and spine. A bit of light scuffing to the rear panel. attractive 1929 calendar (yellow) affixed to the front pastedown. Multiple elaborate fold-out maps (a number of them in color), hundreds of black-and-white photos and plans complementing the text. Fascinating report on the attempt by the city elders to come to legislative terms with New York's unparalleled growth and seemingly unchecked building spree.
