About the Program:
Our Telling the Art Deco Stories of our Neighborhood's online series continues so you can virtually visit New York's Art Deco enclaves with the Art Deco Society of New York––from anywhere.
Located in central Brooklyn, between Ocean Parkway and Nostrand Avenue, Midwood has many unsung Art Deco treasures. Join architectural historian Matt Postal and discover this large and leafy neighborhood, particularly the avenues where modernistic apartment houses dominate many intersections.
As we explore Midwood we'll focus on Avenues L and N, as well as Ocean Avenue and Kings Highway. Together we’ll peek inside a memorable group of lobbies, including stylish spaces decorated with ornamental Art Deco plaster reliefs, acid-etched glass, colorful patterned terrazzo, and dream-like murals. Our tour will also consider several striking commercial structures with intriguing terracotta panels, as well as an elegant 1932 bank with a restored interior by Halsey McCormack & Helmer.
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.
