Episode 45:The Reliance Building

from Archive Hoppers Podcast · host Alberto

Step inside the Reliance Building, the 19th-century skyscraper that looked like it came from the future. We explore the engineering marvel of replacing a foundation while the tenants were still inside, the gangster history in the dentist's chair, and how a city rallied to save its "self-cleaning" architectural masterpiece from becoming a forgotten ruin.
