Since 1953 the Hart-Cluett House has been the sumptuous white marble flagship of the Rensselaer County Historical Society. It is now the subject of this eloquent, lucid and comforting book. The volume is part biography of the city of Troy as seen through the lens of one building, its origins, furnishings and its occupants; part detective story, persuasively distilling the results of prodigious research and weighing circumstantial evidence when the documentary evidence is absent; and part a lost chapter in the annals of New York City's rise to pre-eminence. -- From the Preface by John Winthrop Aldrich.
