The Wurts Brothers documented many iconic buildings in New York City. Wurts Bros. worked alongside architects, engineers, and rental agents to record major New York City landmarks during some of the city’s most dynamic years of expansion. Their images are widely recognizable and have been reproduced in many architectural and general interest magazines over the years.
