James Fitch was a pioneer in the movement to preserve America’s architectural heritage. The Graduate Program in Preservation that he founded at Columbia University—the nation’s first—has become a model of a humanistic understanding of the built environment.

In this affectionate portrait, two graduates of the Columbia program, Christine Ferinde and Jon Calame, look at Fitch’s ideas at work, particularly in New York City locales that have become beloved American icons—South Street Seaport, Ellis Island, the cast iron district of SoHo, and Grand Central Station.
