SUMMARY:TOUR: Midtown Art Deco from Beekman Place to Rockefeller Center (Itinerary No. 6)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by Untapped Cities – reservations required. Reservation and registration\, click here. \nStarting on the far east side of Midtown at posh Beekman Place\, we visit a handful of modernistic residences ranging from the fabulously wealthy River House to the more modestly middle-class Southgate apartments to the former Panhellenic Tower\, a redoubt for young professional women taking on the big city in the 1920s. Pushing westward into the commercial heart of Midtown we visit the spectacular but lesser-known General Electric Building and continue with the Waldorf-Astoria\, New York’s preeminent skyscraper hotel. We close with a brief look at Rockefeller Center\, midtown Manhattan’s urbane urban wonderland.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - TOUR: Art Deco in Washington Heights (Itinerary No. 11)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. Reservations required – click here. \nHigh up on a hill\, its streets lined with modest but attractive six-story Art Deco apartment houses\, 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.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - TOUR: Art Deco on the Upper West Side: Broadway and Riverside Drive (Itinerary No. 9)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. Reservations required – click here. \nA meandering walk across the upper west tracts of the Upper West Side\, from West 85th to 103rd streets\, Broadway to Riverside Drive.

SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: "New York Art Deco"
DESCRIPTION:Free\, but reservations required – RSVP to programs@skyscraper.org. Sponsored by the Skyscraper Museum. \nThe Chrysler Building\, the Waldorf-Astoria\, Rockefeller Center– these are among the hundreds of Art Deco monuments that during the 1920s and ‘30s helped create the image of New York City as the world’s Modern Metropolis. 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 in them during the 1970s\, New York’s Deco buildings today survive as prized remnants of a distant yet modern past that still help define the city’s visual identity. \nThe 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. \nAfter the talk there will be a book signing for New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture (SUNY Press\, Excelsior Editions\, 2017).

SUMMARY:TOUR: The great Art Deco Towers of East 42nd Street (from Itinerary No. 5)
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Cooper-Hewitt Museum. The Cooper-Hewitt is mounting a huge show of American art from the Art Deco period: “The Jazz Age: American Style in the 1920s” (April 7th-August 20th) \nThis is a tour for Museum members\, but membership is open to all\, click here. Reservations will be required – watch this space for details. \nForty-Second Street is Midtown Manhattan’s major boulevard of Art Deco skyscrapers\, with some of the city’s most famous monuments. On this walk we will take a close look at Raymond Hood’s red-and-white-striped Daily News Building\, the Chanin Building with its Rene Chambellan-designed abstract ornament\, and the peerless Chrysler Building\, perhaps the city’s most famous Art Deco skyscraper. We will also take a peek – for contrast – at nearby Tudor City\, built just before Art Deco swept away the notion of borrowing from Europe’s past to design America’s future.

SUMMARY:TOUR: Art Deco on the Upper East Side (Itinerary No. 10)
DESCRIPTION:Reservations required. Sponsored by the Art Deco Society of New York. For information and registration\, click here. \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 and book signing: Art Deco on the Upper East Side (Itinerary No. 10)
DESCRIPTION:Reservations required. Sponsored by the Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts. For information and registration\, click here. At the end of the walk\, there will be a book sale and signing at the Friends’s office. \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:"New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham's Jazz Age Architecture" - Book talk\, signing\, and reception
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Art Deco Society of New York and SUNY Press; reservations required – click here. Tickets $25 ($20 for ADSNY members)\, include a wine and hors d’oeuvres reception. \nThe Chrysler Building\, the Waldorf-Astoria\, Rockefeller Center– these are among the hundreds of Art Deco monuments that during the 1920s and ‘30s helped create the image of New York City as the world’s Modern Metropolis. 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 in them during the 1970s\, New York’s Deco buildings today survive as prized remnants of a distant yet modern past that still help define the city’s visual identity. \nThe 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. \nAfter the talk there will be a book signing for the newly published New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture (SUNY Press\, Excelsior Editions\, 2017).
