On the website interactive map, the Tesla Lab site is incorrectly marked. And we in Shoreham have NOT forgotten this special genius. We are working towards the preservation of his laboratory and the establishment of a museum and Tesla archive in the Stanford White-designed building.

Greatly enjoyed the book but wondered about the author's claim of the 43 story New Yorker Hotel being the tallest building in NYC in 1930. The Woolworth Building, built some 20 years earlier in lower Manhattan, at 60 stories, was, until construction of the Empire State Building in 1931, the tallest building not only in NYC but in the world.
