SUMMARY:Tour: Manhattan's Art Deco Interiors
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. $30 ($20 MAS members). Reservations required. To register\, call 212-935-3960 or register on-line. \nThe phrase “Art Deco New York” generally conjures romantic images of Manhattan skyscrapers. But just as remarkable as the towers are their sumptuous interiors – which are also far more comfortable to visit on a cold winter’s day. On this tour\, we’ll visit the publicly accessible interiors of major Deco marvels: the Daily News Building\, the Chrysler Building\, and the International Building and RCA (now Comcast) tower at Rockefeller Center.

SUMMARY:TOUR: Wall Street Canyons\, Walking the Byways of the First New York
DESCRIPTION:Reservations required. Sponsored by the Scarsdale Adult School.  Click here to register on-line. \nFrom the spectacular skyline to the underground archeological relics\, downtown Manhattan is one of the world’s great urban treasures. Its reputation was tarnished in the ’80s as a symbol of greed and corruption\, in the ’90s with the stock market crash and empty skyscrapers\, and again in the ’00s in the wake of 9/11\, but the area is making a strong come-back. The tour covers colonial-era relics and narrow Dutch streets\, private banks and public squares\, nineteenth-century church steeples\, and twentieth-century skyscraper towers. Admire public art from Daniel Chester French’s “Four Continents” at the old Custom House to Arturo di Modica’s giant bull (to cheer up the stockbrokers after the ‘87 crash) at Bowling Green. Take in the waterfront scenery from Castle Clinton in Battery Park to Steamship Row on lower Broadway. Stroll past famous institutions like Delmonico’s Steak House\, the first American restaurant to popularize “continental cuisine\,” whose last (and very handsome) surviving building stands on William Street.

SUMMARY:TOUR: Art Deco in Washington Heights (Itinerary No. 11)
DESCRIPTION:Reservations required. Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. $30 per person ($20 for MAS members). For information and registration\, watch this space\, or call the M.A.S. at 212-935-3960. \nBased on Itinerary No. 11 in New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture.  \nHigh up on a hill\, its streets lined with modest but attractive six-story Art Deco apartment hoses\, Washington Heights has more in common with West Bronx neighborhoods just across the Harlem River than with the rest of Manhattan. Many of the same architects who worked on the Grand Concourse also designed apartment buildings on or near Fort Washington Avenue – we will see work by Horace Ginsbern\, Jacob Felson\, Israel Crausman\, Miller and Goldhammer\, Charles Kreymborg\, and H. Herbert Lillien. Two taller apartment buildings\, by Boak and Paris\, offer a more idiosyncratic take on the modernism of the 1930s. This walk with Anthony W. Robins will also include a one-story taxpayer\, and one of the city’s few frankly Deco subway entrances. But the star attraction is the Fourth Church of Christ\, Scientist (now the Hebrew Tabernacle of Washington Heights)\, one of perhaps a dozen or so Art Deco houses of worship anywhere in the city. \n  \n

SUMMARY:TOUR: Art Deco on the Upper East Side (Itinerary No. 10)
DESCRIPTION:Reservations required. Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. $30 per person ($20 for MAS members). For information and registration\, click here. \nBased on Itinerary No. 10 in New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture.  \nThe Upper East Side—Manhattan’s Gold Coast—maintains an aura of conservative respectability\, and perhaps as a result never attracted as much Art Deco flash as its counterpart on the west side of Central Park. Nevertheless\, tucked among the Beaux-Arts town houses and sedate neo-Georgian apartment buildings\, the neighborhood has some remarkable examples by some of the best architects\, including an apartment house by Raymond Hood (built for the owner of the Daily News); one of Manhattan’s very few Art Deco town houses; the elegant Carlyle Hotel; and apartment houses by Sloan & Robertson\, Horace Ginsberg. and George and Edward Blum—the Blums having designed some of the very first Art Deco apartment buildings anywhere in the city.

SUMMARY:TOUR: The fabulous Broadway theaters – Times Square Reborn
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. Reservations required; click here for information and registration. ($30\, $20 for MAS members). \nWalk the streets of the Great White Way\, as we trace the history of New York’s Broadway theater district from Oscar Hammerstein in the 1890s to Walt Disney in the 1990s. With a century of history behind them\, the 40 surviving Broadway theaters stand as stunning works of art in themselves\, as well as monuments to the lively history of American theater. Many were built as lavish headquarters for Broadway’s great impresarios\, who spared no expense in their decor. The Belasco Theater on 44th Street was designed to the specifications of the extravagant David Belasco\, the self-styled “Bishop of Broadway” who\, among other eccentricities\, wore a clerical collar. The Little Theater\, built for aristocratic New England producer Winthrop Ames\, originally sat a tiny audience of 300; its precious Georgian style facade looks less like a typical Broadway theater than a Colonial New England manor house. Producer John Cort’s theater was designed as a recreation of the Petit Trianon in Versailles. Today these jewels sparkle among all the brash new skyscrapers that have transformed the once dingy and dangerous Times Square. The tour includes it all: theaters\, skyscrapers\, and city planning at its most controversial.

SUMMARY:Tour: Central Park as a Work of Art
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Scarsdale Adult School. Reservations required – click here to register on-line. \nPerhaps best-known of New York’s official “Scenic Landmarks\,” Central Park offers New Yorkers refuge\, recreation and rejuvenation; a temporary haven from a city of brick and steel\, concrete and glass. And yet this park which delights us with its lakes and streams\, wildflowers and grand open spaces\, is almost entirely artificial\, carefully designed right down to the hidden pipes feeding a rustic waterfall.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Art Deco New York – From the Chrysler Building to the Grand Concourse
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Bronxville Library – details TBA \nArt Deco today can refer to anything from saltcellars to skyscrapers\, produced anywhere in the world during the early decades of the last century\, using abstract\, stylized floral\, geometric\, or streamlined design. In New York\, Art Deco evolved through a series of Manhattan skyscrapers into the city’s chief architectural language. Following a massive reawakening of interest during the 1970s\, New York’s Deco buildings today survive as prized remnants of a distant-yet-modern past that still helps to define the city’s visual identity. \nThis lecture covers the great skyscrapers of architects Raymond Hood\, William Van Alen\, Ely Jacques Kahn\, and Ralph Walker\, including the Daily News\, Empire State\, Irving Trust\, General Electric\, American Radiator\, Barclay-Vesey and RCA Buildings. It then traces the adaptation of this “skyscraper style” through apartment buildings on the Bronx’s Grand Concourse\, airport terminals at LaGuardia\, the Central Park West residential skyline\, automated midtown parking garages\, diners\, hotels\, department stores\, banks and theaters like Radio City Music Hall.

SUMMARY:Tour: SoHo\, the World's Cast-Iron Capital
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Historic Districts Council\, as part of the 2019 Annual Preservation Conference. To register click here. \nMarvel at the world’s greatest trove of cast-iron buildings in this guided tour through the streets of SoHo.  Cast iron began as a mid-nineteenth century cheap imitation of stone\, in which the glories of the world’s past could be offered to American merchants through that most modern of marketing tools\, the sales catalog — in mass-produced\, ready-to-build versions.  But cast iron soon developed into a remarkable technology expressive of the industrial revolution and modern America\, capable of entirely new architectural effects.  Tour highlights include cast iron recreations of Venetian palaces on Broadway\, French style Mansard roofs on Greene Street\, and the audaciously original metallic creations of New York’s Victorian commercial architects.  The tour also incorporates SoHo’s more recent history\, including the impact of the proposed Lower Manhattan Expressway\, designation as a New York City Historic District\, the changing economics of light industry\, and the fashions of the art world\, as well as new buildings designed to fit into the district’s historic streetscapes.
