Michael Horowitz has spent 50 years documenting the rapidly disappearing places throughout the Northeast, using his lens to preserve them for our cultural memory.

His book Cathedrals of Industry: Exploring the Factories and Infrastructure That Made America features the factories of Streit’s Matzo and Joyva and the last silk flower workshop in New York City’s Garment District, but also vast infrastructure like the Paterson Hydroelectric Plant and Bethlehem Steel. Horowitz photographs these places with the eye not only of a photographer but of someone who has taken the time to understand their inner workings—an understanding that is extended to the reader through the lively and carefully researched text.

Join Michael at the museum for a visual presentation that will appeal to Buffalonians with a variety of interests, including history, architecture, engineering, and urban exploration.
