This exhibit consists of a physical installation and a digital interface that are designed to work separately or together. The exibit concerns one part of Manhattan, the Rose Hill-Kips Bay neighborhood; from a time of rolling meadows and expansive farms in the 17th century to factories, tenements and row houses in the 19th; followed by industrial decline and loss of population to large scale urban renewal in the mid 20th century, and finally to the recent expansion of Baurch College, the present epi-center of Rose Hill.
