Outgrowing its remarkably shortlived location in midtown Manhattan, Columbia College moved uptown in the mid1890s, not only transforming itself into an urban university under university president Seth Low, but also creating an urban campus guided by Charles McKim, William Rutherford Mead, and Stanford White's master plan. The university became a major constituent of what would be described as New York's Acropolis on Morningside Heights. It was preceded in this endeavor by the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine and St. Luke's Hospital, and it was soon joined by Barnard College, Teachers College, and Union Theological Seminary, among others. The arrival of the Interborough Rapid Transit Subway in 1904 spurred residential and retail development.

Centrally located between Ithaca and Cortland, New York, Dryden was once part of the Iroquois hunting grounds and lands until General Sullivan led a campaign to rid the area of hostile Indians during the Revolutionary War. Settled in the spring of 1797 by Amos Sweet and named for playwright and poet John Dryden, the town has become a leader of agriculture and business, with experimental agriculture fields and state-of-the-art dairy farms located on large tracts of land throughout the Dryden township. Dryden is surrounded by hubs of higher education, innovative industry, and agriculture.

The history of the American Arts and Crafts movement is embodied in the Roycroft community. Founded by Elbert Green Hubbard, the Roycroft is more than just a National Historic Landmark in the charming village of East Aurora, New York. Roycroft's artisans and craftspersons flourished from 1898 to 1938, producing some of America's best and most important crafts, furniture, and books. This visual history through postcards and motto cards produced by the Roycrofters' presses shares the story and philosophy of their movement. Here, the 1898 postcards featuring the Characters of the place and the years of the Roycroft Renaissance show the growth and continuity.
