If you are focusing on mainly buildings, Eugène Atget is probably the best know. He documented much of Paris just before it was "revitalized" by Napoleon III.


Paul Himmel did NYC in the 40's.

For a contemporary look, but more focused on people, Michael Ackerman's series on Times Square is something to check out.
