About the Program:
Our Telling the Art Deco Stories of our Neighborhood's online series continues so now you can virtually visit New York's wonderful Art Deco enclaves with the Art Deco Society of New York––from anywhere.
From Central Park West to Riverside Drive, and everything in between, celebrated architectural historian Francis Morrone will lead us on a web-based tour of buildings by Emery Roth, Boak & Paris, Irwin S. Chanin, Schwartz & Gross, and many other notable architects!
You won't want to miss this in-depth look at gems such as the Master Building on Riverside Drive and 103rd Street, as well as at many lesser-known but equally impressive works among apartment buildings, theaters, and retail structures.
Even though this tour is online, it will include a live PowerPoint––with wonderful images that you will be able to see directly on your computer screen, tablet, or mobile device––as well as a moderated Q&A session with participants.
Can't join us at the time of the live event? No problem! When you register for the live program you are guaranteed to receive a recording of the entire program a few days after the live presentation, which you can watch at a time most convenient for you.
