Over time, the importance of both faded, but by then the community had become a manufacturing power. By the late nineteenth century, it was producing a wide variety of products, from typewriters to agricultural implements. And it had grown to become New York State's fourth-largest city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSyracuse created beautiful city parks and public buildings in the early twentieth century, enjoyed a downtown retail and entertainment boom during the Roaring Twenties, successfully struggled with the hard times of the Great Depression, and then turned its factories into arsenals for victory during World War II. The postwar era brought its own challenges, ones that the city is continuing to meet, but also a new set of events and places to experience, and fondly remember today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating journey through time is captured in the remarkable images reproduced in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Connors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Historic Photos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684420087","brand":"Turner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709562032265,"sku":"9781684420087","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_5c9987c0-3105-4210-beb3-505c9df94c39.jpg?v=1719518791","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/historic-photos-of-syracuse-9781684420087","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
