Bowery brothers

I really enjoyed the Bowery brothers video. My favorite part was knowing that people actually lived in tenements in the 34th area near penn station. It was interesting to know how it must’ve been to have someone come to your door with loads of cash to buy your property just one day. Midtown is what it is today because of penn station and grand central terminal. For them to buy out the tenements and the build and dig for years.

New things that I learned was that mckin and white worked on the east and west wing of the White House, and that mckim, mead and white believed a lot in city beautiful which is adding the beautiful work of architecture buildings to a city.

Overall the video was very informative and I wish that I could’ve seen the old penn station. It was sad to see the picture of the demolition of penn station in the end
