SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: "New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham's Jazz Age Architecture"
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Roosevelt Island Historical Society – free and open to the public. \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.

SUMMARY:TOUR: SoHo Historic District
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. Reservations required ($30\, but $20 for MAS members). Click here for information and registration. \nSoHo today is home to the world’s greatest trove of cast-iron buildings. Cast-iron architecture began as a mid-19th-century cheap imitation of stone\, in which the glories of the world’s past could be offered in modern times in mass-produced\, ready-to-build versions. But cast-iron soon developed into a remarkable technology expressive of the industrial revolution\, capable of entirely new architectural effects. Threatened by a proposed Lower Manhattan Expressway\, SoHo was rescued from near obliteration in 1973 by designation as one of the city’s earliest historic districts. This tour considers the district’s original architecture as well as new Commission-approved additions.

SUMMARY:LECTURE: Behind the Bright Lights - the Great Broadway Theaters
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Manor Club in Pelham Manor\, NY – click here for more information. Open to the general public; free for members\, $5 for non-members (payable at the door). \nWith three-quarters of 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\, designed for self-styled “Bishop of Broadway” David Belasco\, boasts Tiffany glass\, paneled wooden ceilings\, and murals by the New York Ashcan School artist Everett Shinn. The Georgian facade of the Little Theater\, built for aristocratic New England producer Winthrop Ames\, suggests a Colonial New England manor house\, into the intimate drawing room of which Ames cordially invited his audience. Other great Broadway houses include the recreation of the Petit Trianon in Versailles built for producer John Cort\, the pseudo-Florentine palace built for the Theater Guild\, and the delicately sculpted Music Box built by Irving Berlin for his Music Box Revues.

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: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.
