From the Foreword: "With the commemoration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the opening of Fifth Avenue, our Association was presented with a unique opportunity. The history of Fifth Avenue had been told many times - and well told, but the previous books emphasized only certain phases of the Avenue's greatness. There was needed a survey comprehenisve enough to bring together the forces embraced in the Greater Fifth Avenue of the twentieth century and the traditions of old Fifth Avenue. It has been our endeavor, through this volume, to trace the romance, art and industry of the Fifth Avenue section as a continuous historical development from 1824 to 1924."
