Lupkin, Paula. Manhood Factories: YMCA Architecture and the Making of Modern Urban Culture
Univ. of Minnesota Press
Pap. 2010
Book ID: 83764
Beginning with the early history of the YMCA and the construction of New York City's landmark Twenty-third Street YMCA of 1869, Lupkin follows the efforts of YMCA leaders to shape a modern yet moral public culture and even define class, race, ethnicity, and gender through its buildings. Illustrated with many rarely seen photographs, maps, and drawings, Manhood Factories offers a fascinating new perspective on a venerable institution and its place in America's cultural and architectural history.
