These communities have always been a haven for immigrants who have come here to live and work since the pre-Columbian era. Native Americans came to tradegoods, Jewish refugees came during the 1930s to flee the tyranny of the Nazis, and since the end of World War II there has been an influx of the Latino community. The area is also noted for its dolomitic Inwood marble, which has been quarried for government buildings in New York City and some of the federal buildings in Washington, D.C. Through vintage images, Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill illustrates the transformation of this area over the decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Renner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738554782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738554785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 6.55w x 0.34d","brand":"James Renner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990296527103,"sku":"9780738554785","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a7b9dc5-d3b0-4803-ac52-4d33417df87c.jpg?v=1683303997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/washington-heights-inwood-and-marble-james-renner-9780738554785","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
