Book excerpt: Excerpt from Statement Made by the Association for the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations: In Regard to the Organizations and Progress of the Enterprise This pamphlet is published under the direction of the Association which is preparing the Industrial Exhibition, to take place in the city of New-York, in the spring of the year 1853; and is drawn up for the purpose of preserving and communicating to all parties interested in the enterprise, a detailed account of the origin, purposes, organization and progress of the enterprise, up to this time. The undertaking is still far from its completion. The Directors are perfectly aware how much severe labor yet remains before their task is performed. They are especially desirous to avoid all boasting and vain-glorious language, but it seems not too much to affirm that their ultimate success is now certain. It is convenient for the Association to have, in a condensed form, a narrative of all that has been hitherto done; and it appears due to those public-spirited persons who have lent their aid to the enterprise in its infancy, to preserve a record of their co-operation. The brilliant success of the London Exhibition turned the minds of the industrial world to the propriety and expediency of repetitions of that effort in different parts of Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When first opened to the public in 1853, New York's Crystal Palace created a sensation. Those who had seen London's Crystal Palace, the structure it was openly intended to emulate, argued that America's copy far surpassed it. Built in what is today Bryant Park, a four-acre site between 40th and 42nd Streets, the colossus of glass and steel indeed seemed poised to displace the British original in worldwide fame. Walt Whitman pronounced it "unsurpassed anywhere for beauty." Young Samuel Clemens--not yet Mark Twain--called it a "perfect fairy palace." Many perceived it as putting America, still in the thrall of European culture, on the map. "To us on this side of the water," wrote newspaperman Horace Greely, who had also visited London's Crystal Palace, "it was original." Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Edwin G. Burrows offers the tale of what was proclaimed the country's "finest building." Centerpiece of the 1853 World's Fair, the New York Crystal Palace, like its London counterpart, was intended to display the country's latest technological achievements--as well as a few dubious cultural artifacts. But its primary function was simply to be seen and admired by the crowds that thronged to it; its very existence caused patriotic breasts to swell. And then suddenly it was gone. On October 5, 1858, merely five years after its construction, the Crystal Palace caught fire. Despite frantic attempts to save it, the magnificent dome was engulfed and within thirty minutes the entire structure reduced to a heap of smoldering debris, through which for days afterward bereft New Yorkers picked for mementos. With sumptuous images and lively storytelling The Finest Building in America brings back to life an extraordinary monument, one that briefly but wholeheartedly captured the imagination of a country, giving form to its dreams and ambitions, and then vanishing from view.
