Telling the Art Deco Story of Midwood Video Event
About the Program:
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.
In this recorded video presentation––which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home at a time that best fits your schedule––we focus on Avenues L and N, as well as Ocean Avenue and Kings Highway. Together we 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 also considers several striking commercial structures with intriguing terracotta panels, as well as an elegant 1932 bank with a restored interior by Halsey McCormack & Helmer.
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.
About the Guide:
