Tour: Landmarks battles in Midtown

Reservations required. $20 ($15 MAS members).

April is national historic preservation month!

Midtown Manhattan has seen more than its fair share of landmark battles. On this walk, we consider the landmark rationale and battle history of the Villard Houses/Palace Hotel (one of the earliest battles), St. Bartholomew’s Church (with issues of church/state conflict), Lever House (one of the new breed of modern landmarks), and Grand Central Terminal (whose landmark status was finally upheld by the Supreme Court).
