SUMMARY:Art Deco Washington Heights: Elegant Uptown Architecture
DESCRIPTION:High 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. Mr. Robins is the author of the award-winning book\, “New York Art Deco: A Guide to Gotham’s Jazz Age Architecture.”

SUMMARY:The Bowery: 400 Years on New York’s Oldest Thoroughfare

Native American footpath\, Dutch farm road and site of NYC’s first free black settlement\, the Bowery was an early social hub for the working class\, gangs\, gays\, and immigrant Irish\, Italians\, Chinese\, Jews and Germans.

A long-time home to rescue missions\, affordable jewelry\, lighting and restaurant supply districts\, and an artist community\, NYC’s oldest\, most architecturally diverse street – including its oldest brick house – was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. Despite such honors\, it is one of the city’s most endangered historic treasures. Join David Mulkins of Bowery Alliance of Neighbors for this tour.
