The New-York Historical Society recently launched Lost New York, an exhibition exploring the ever-changing palimpsest of the city’s built environment. 90 different historical photos, paintings, and other media document its transformation into a global metropolis.
Lost relics such as the original Madison Square Garden, old Yankee Stadium, the 1853–54 Crystal Palace, Croton Distributing Reservoir, and Penn Station appear along with first-hand witness depictions of city life as it was during the time of their prominence as civic landmarks.
The exhibition was organized by curator Wendy Nālani E. Ikemoto. Reviewing its opening, Veronica Esposito of The Guardian writes: "Lost New York isn’t just about commemorating places past but also about realizing the importance of the landmarks that currently exist and the reasons for celebrating and preserving them."
The exhibition is open to the public now and will remain on view until September 29th at the Historical Society's Central Park West location.

"Lost to time" a nice way of saying destroyed by developers.
