Anthony C. Wood not only provides a thorough history of pioneering preservationist Albert Bard whose advocacy ultimately created the New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission, but he uncovers the secret story of a gay man whose life had to be hidden from all of his colleagues. Wood adds an important layer to our understanding of the character of early preservation activists by making tangible the previously invisible life of a prominent civic leader.
