I Love New York! Valentine’s Virtual Tour of Downtown Deco Video Event
About the Program:
Join the Art Deco Society of New York and celebrated architectural historian Francis Morrone for our special online tour celebrating how much we love New York's Art Deco!
Though most people associate New York's great Art Deco skyscrapers with midtown Manhattan––since the style coincided with the creation of Manhattan's new central business district––this exciting online tour features the over-the-top Deco gems of downtown Manhattan.
As you will discover in this engaging recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––some of New York's most important Art Deco buildings are downtown, in the Civic Center and Financial District areas. You are sure to enjoy our in-depth look at two of Ralph Walker's masterpieces, 140 West Street and 1 Wall Street, as well as Clinton & Russell's 70 Pine Street and Sloan & Robertson's 29 Broadway. Our tour will also include notable non-Deco buildings from the 1920s and 1930s, such as 40 Wall Street. Mostly, however, we will comb the streets of the Financial District for lesser-known gems, such as Buchman & Kahn's 111 John Street and much more.
This recorded video event includes the original PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device.
