In the Heart of Greenwich Village

 In the Heart of Greenwich Village

About the Program

This new walking tour for the Art Deco Society with architectural historian Matt Postal offers a new perspective on this fabled downtown neighborhood, stopping to consider handsome tiered apartment towers, some clad with terracotta and/or shaded brick, pioneering cultural institutions, and structures associated with such Jazz Age luminaries as master architectural delineator Hugh Ferris, sculptor Paul Manship and first lady Eleanor Roosevelt (as well as her beloved Scottish terrier Fala). Likely Art Deco highlights include: the original home of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Joseph Urban’s New School for Social Research, One Fifth Avenue, and the Markle Memorial Building, an often overlooked women’s residence designed by Ralph Walker.
