“Graphic presentation of data” from the 1934 Real Property Inventory Report, published by LaGuardia’s Committee on City Planning, depicting the “predominant non-residential type” of structure throughout the five boroughs.Dark blue offices crowd the southern tip of Manhattan, light green “Lofts” form a spine up the island, red “industries” line the waterfront, while vast swaths of outer Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island were still untouched and undeveloped, labeled “vacant” by the Committee.
