Note: In order to create the texts which accompany the images on the tour, we consulted two excellent books about Columbia and Morningside Heights where the campus is located:

Barry Bergdoll, Mastering McKim's Plan: Columbia's First Century on Morningside Heights, New York: Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University, 1997

Andrew S. Dolkart, Morningside Heights: a History of its Architecture & Development, New York: Columbia University Press, 1998.
