Here's a fascinating website:
http://www.celluloidskyline.com/main/home.html

The site is based on the award-winning book by the architect James Sanders, "The Celluloid Skyline" and has three "multimedia" features.

Visions of the Dream City, a special interactive feature created for the site, provides an innovative way to explore the shape and meaning of the urban landscape, using a series of extraordinary reference photographs taken by Hollywood crews across the 20th century.

Building the Dream City
, another special feature, offers a gallery of rare and unusual production drawings of movie New York from the legendary RKO art department.

Sidewalk Glimpses, a third special feature, offers an interactive database with links to fifty-five early “actuality” films, shot on the streets of New York City from 1896 to 1906, which can be downloaded from Library of Congress’s Paper Print Collection.
