About the Program:
Join ADSNY and architecture and preservation expert, Glen Leiner, for a day of exploring the surprising Art Deco heritage of New Jersey’s largest city, Newark!
This immersive walking tour will feature special interior access at several notable Art Deco landmarks, including:
- The Lefcourt Building, which was designed by prominent Newark architect Frank Grad in 1929 and is know known for its conversion into luxury residences known as Eleven 80
- Well-preserved ceramic subway art from the WPA era
- Another 1929 stunner, a Ralph Walker-designed telephone building, which has just undergone a restoration and adaptive reuse project to transform into Walker House. We will get an inside look into the restoration project from the team and be one of the first to explore this remarkable building
- Newark Penn Station, an expansive and impressive 1935 design of McKim, Mead & White which is known for its Art Deco style
- A series of original, large-scale painted murals from 1931 inside the 35-story Newark National Building, which was the tallest building in Newark until 1989
And, as if seeing all of these stunning interiors and works of art weren’t enough, the day’s festivities will also include a guided tour through 1920s and 30s highlights from the impressive collection of the Newark Museum.
Additionally, attendees will be welcomed into the Sky Tower of Walker House to enjoy a catered lunch sponsored by Newark Happening.
The group will travel together on New Jersey Transit from New York City’s Penn Station at 9:45. NJTransit tickets are not included in the price of the program.
Space is very limited for this unique program. Sign up today and prepare to be dazzled!
Audio assistance devices will be provided for all attendees.
