The book is based on a remarkable archive created by the Historic American Building Survey (HABS), a Works Progress Administration project that still documents the nations most important buildings. Lost in America focuses on 100 buildings that have been torn down over the past 90 years. Somelike New Yorks Penn Station and Chicagos Stock Exchangewere majestic.
