SUMMARY:LECTURE: Art Deco New York: The Architects Speak
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Art Deco Society of New York. Click here for details. ($50; $35 for ADSNY members) \nWe explore the work of three of the architects who helped transform the face of New York City in the 1920s and 30s with the colorful and geometric designs we now call Art Deco–and we hear the architects describe their buildings in their own words. \nThe great Art Deco skyscrapers–the Chrysler Building\, the Empire State Building–were designed by socially prominent architects\, often of old New York stock. But a generation of Jewish architects and builders–new to the profession and often new to the country–helped spread the Deco style across the more modest\, but also more numerous\, middle-class landscapes of the city\, from the Garment District to the Grand Concourse. In the late 1970s and early 1980s\, I had the good fortune to meet and interview three of those architects and recorded the interviews. \nThe three architects––Israel Crausman\, Louis Allen Abramson\, and Marvin Fine––came from varying backgrounds. Fine\, of the firm of Horace Ginsbern\, had a sophisticated architectural education at the University of Pennsylvania; Abramson apprenticed to a famous older architect\, took a few extension courses at Columbia\, and then went out on his own; while Crausman was a self-taught builder. Fine designed the first Deco apartment house in the Bronx; Crausman designed many Bronx apartment houses on and off the Grand Concourse; Abramson designed notable Horn & Hardart Automats\, as well as restaurants in the Longchamps chain.

SUMMARY:TOUR: Washington Heights Art Deco
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Municipal Art Society. Reservations required – click here. ($30; $20 MAS members) \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:TOUR: SoHo\, the World's Cast-Iron Capital
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Scarsdale Adult School. Reservations required – click here for information and registration. \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.
