{"product_id":"north-hempstead-howard-kroplick-9781531672263","title":"North Hempstead","description":"Bordering on Queens to the west and the town of Oyster Bay to the east, North Hempstead can be considered the heart of the Gold Coast--once the highest concentration of wealth and power in the country. As the gateway to New York City, the area was enticing to the rich and famous, including William Cullen Bryant, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Philip Sousa, George M. Cohan, Groucho Marx, and the Vanderbilt, Whitney, Phipps, and Guggenheim families, and they flocked to North Hempstead for homes. With early advances in trains, automobiles, parkways, and even seaplanes, the town was transformed from a farming and estate community into a sprawling suburb. North Hempstead shares photographs documenting its growth and evolution into one of the \"Best Places to Live in America.\" More than 200 images, many published for the first time, portray the town's history, people, buildings, and landmarks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Kroplick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531672264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531672263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Howard Kroplick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44634537296127,"sku":"9781531672263","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8508821-ffd0-43ce-9fd8-b74aa4d6beca.jpg?v=1703589800","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/north-hempstead-howard-kroplick-9781531672263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
