#vermontgmg.bsky.social Hmm...As Garrett Graff explains in his talk to #nyhistory about his new book "The Devil Reached Toward the Sky," oral history's value is that, like in real time, we don't know what's happening as it happens. But I wish oral histories had more of an organized thesis #BookSky

My #bookclub at #nyhistory #museum dug into the 1st book of #RobertCaro's bio of #LBJ, "The Path to Power." We can't decide: Did LBJ believe in anything except his own ambition? Did he care about the poor Hill County people of TX? (Answer: probably ...) #booksky #history

Framed sepia-toned portrait of Louise Blanchard Bethune, the first professional female architect in the United States. Taken around the late 19th century, she gazes just past the camera with a serious and confident expression. Her light-colored hair is neatly curled and pulled back, and she wears a high-necked Victorian blouse with intricate lace detailing and a row of buttons down the front.
Historic black-and-white photograph of the Lafayette Hotel in Buffalo, New York—an elegant seven-story building designed by Louise Blanchard Bethune. The grand corner structure features ornate cornices, arched windows, and decorative balconies. A large “LAFAYETTE HOTEL” sign crowns the roof. Horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles line the cobblestone street, with pedestrians and street lamps visible in the foreground
Louise Blanchard Bethune was the first-known female professional #architect in the US. She died #OTD in 1913.
She worked primarily in Buffalo, NY, and partnered with her husband at Bethune, Bethune & Fuchs. #NYhistory #architecture

Around the 1930s, NYC recruited artists to create modernist posters as a way of promoting its public housing initiative. This resulted in some very clever designs. Have a peak here
