SUMMARY:Lecture: Grand Central Terminal - 100 Years of a New York Landmark
DESCRIPTION:On February 1st\, 1913\, the brand-new Grand Central Terminal opened its doors to an admiring public. On February 1st\, 2013\, the beautifully restored Terminal – rescued from destruction by a seminal 1978 Supreme Court decision – celebrates its Centennial\, accompanied by exhibitions\, events\, and a new book: Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark. The Terminal’s creation combined engineering bravado (sinking two train yards below ground)\, technological wizardry (electrifying the trains to eliminate steam and enable their underground functioning)\, and real-estate savvy (replacing the original street-level train yard with 16 blocks of newly prime Midtown Manhattan real-estate\, whose development paid for it all) with innovative planning (interior ramps and looping tracks) and Paris-inspired Beaux-Arts design. This illustrated lecture brings the Terminal to life – its remarkable history\, stunning architecture\, and central role in creating midtown Manhattan. \nThe lecture is sponsored by the New York State Museum and the New York State Archives\, and funded by the New York Council for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Lecture: From Thomas Wolfe to the Mamas and the Papas - The venerable Hotel Albert in Greenwich Village
DESCRIPTION:Free lecture\, but reservations required – please e-mail rsvp@gvshp.org \nAccounts of New York’s literary and artistic life invariably mention the Algonquin Hotel and the Chelsea Hotel\, but rarely do they credit the Hotel Albert – perhaps because today the Albert\, on University Place and East 10th Street\, is a quiet co-op complex. Yet the Albert – designed by Henry Hardenbergh\, architect of the Plaza Hotel and the Dakota Apartments – has hosted a riotously rich group of creative New Yorkers. Famous writers and painters from its early years include Robert Louis Stevenson\, who posed in his room here for sculptor Augustus St. Gaudens; Hart Crane\, who worked on his epic poem celebrating the Brooklyn Bridge; and Thomas Wolfe\, who used the Albert as his model for the Hotel Leopold in Of Time and the River. Mark Twain lectured at the Albert in 1901\, and Walt Whitman is said to have been sighted there. African-American literary figures who stayed at the Albert in the 1950s included Chester Himes\, Richard Wright\, Charles Wright\, and later Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka.  Among visual artists\, Albert Pinkham Ryder\, the hotel manager’s brother\, based his painting\, “The Race Track\,” on an event at the Albert\, while in later years  Jackson Pollock attended dinners at the Albert. Political radicals found refuge in the Albert – and John Scopes stayed here while rounding up supporters for his famous “monkey trial” in Tennessee. \nAfter World War II\, when the Albert fell on hard times\, its low prices attracted dozens of rock musicians. It was at the Albert that The Mamas & The Papas’ wrote “California Dreamin’\,” Lovin’ Spoonful wrote “Do You Believe in Magic\,” and Tim Buckley wrote “Bussin’ Fly.” Other musicians who spent time at the Albert included the Mothers of Invention\, Jim Morrison\, Carly Simon\, Joni Mitchell and James Taylor. Many of them used the Albert’s basement for rehearsals and impromptu jam sessions – as Lillian Roxon\, author of The Rock Encyclopedia\, wrote\, “The basement became a shrine; and no musician feels he’s a musician unless he’s stayed at the Albert and rehearsed among the pools of water and the cockroaches.” \nThis illustrated lecture examines the Albert’s history and its illustrious roster of residents from the 1880s to the 1970s. It’s based on the history of the Albert I wrote for the current co-op: click here. For more on the Albert\, visit the building’s web site. \n

SUMMARY:Lecture: Behind the Bright Lights - the Great Broadway Theaters
DESCRIPTION:With 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.
