It's been 50 years since then-mayor Robert F. Wagner signed New York City's preservation law into action. Now you can celebrate the milestone anniversary with a book depicting buildings that the law helped protect.

The Museum of the City of New York's Saving Place: 50 Years of New York City Landmarks, published in conjunction with an exhibition on view through September 13, takes a close-up look at a half-century of preservation in all five boroughs through 200 pages of essays and photographs.
