As the Mansion project moves forward the Museum is capturing our remarkable progress through the photography of James Rudnick. Mr. Rudnick is a noted preservationist, and an expert in the photography of restoration and renovation of iconic architecture in New York. His previous work includes the photography of the restoration of Grand Central Terminal, and centennial restorations of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the New York Public Library.
