I recommend the book Lost New York by Nathan Silver, to anyone interested in these lost architectural icons of New York City.
It was originally written in the midst of the NYC preservation debate of late 1960s, which resulted from the destruction of buildings like the Singer building, the old Met Opera House, and especially Penn Station.
