During the 19th century, Paterson, New Jersey, grew from an idea of Alexander Hamilton into a manufacturing and commercial powerhouse. Paterson was a city characterized as an arm of iron in a sleeve of silk. A major producer of locomotives and the largest source of silk products in the nation became a fast-growing center of business and commerce. The architecture of the period displays a confidence in the city's long-term future that created a distinctive and noteworthy urban environment. In addition, Paterson was a gateway city for thousands of immigrant families. Although its long-term prominence as a manufacturing center did not endure, the city's products and people impacted the nation and the world. The photographs in this book, largely from the archives of the Paterson Museum, highlight the city's progression during its period of greatest growth and prominence. Focusing on the city's architectural heritage in a variety of building types, the images illuminate the city's growth, fortunes, and the heritage of a complex community during its most dynamic period.
