Metro Reporter
David W. Dunlap, a metro reporter at The New York Times, writes a weekly column, Building Blocks, that looks at the city's history through its architecture, infrastructure, places and spaces. He has covered landmarks on and off since 1981, when he was tossed out of the Biltmore Hotel by a couple of goons so he couldn't witness its interiors being demolished.
