Skyscraper Roof Gardens and Skyward Homes
A nineteenth or early twentieth century feature describes rooftop life in cities where families inhabit and cultivate gardens atop skyscrapers. It notes janitors and residents, baby births, roof studios, and pets thriving above the streets, with examples from New York and Detroit and mentions balcony farms, tree-lined roofs, and makeshift suburban vibes in the sky.
