Telling the Art Deco Story of the Upper West Side Video Event
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.
In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––celebrated architectural historian Francis Morrone will lead us on a web-based tour of the Upper West Side's Art Deco treasures from Central Park West to Riverside Drive, and everything in between. Sign up today to see noteworthy Art Deco 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.
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.
