SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: Great New  York Fire
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy In partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to a Landmark Lecture \nGreat New York Fire of 1776: Lost Tale of the American Revolution\nWith Professor Benjamin L. Carp\, Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center \nThis will be an in-person and online lecture on Tuesday\, May 23rd 6:00 pm \nGeneral Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of The City of New York\n20 West 44th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues)\nManhattan \n \nWho set the mysterious fire that burned down much of New York shortly after the British took the city during the Revolutionary War? \nNew York City\, the strategic center of the Revolutionary War\, was the most important place in North America in 1776. That summer\, an unruly rebel army under George Washington repeatedly threatened to burn it rather than let the British take it. Shortly after the Crown’s forces took the City\, much of it mysteriously burned to the ground. \nThis is the first book to fully explore The Great Fire of 1776 and why its origins remained a mystery even after the British investigated it in 1776 and 1783. Uncovering stories of espionage\, terror\, and radicalism\, Benjamin L. Carp paints a vivid picture of the chaos\, passions\, and unresolved tragedies that define a historical moment we usually associate with “life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness.” \nBenjamin L. Carp is professor of history at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. He is the author of Defiance of the Patriots: The Boston Tea Party and the Making of America and Rebels Rising: Cities and the American Revolution. He lives in New York City

SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: Highlights From 50 Years of Preservation
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy In partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to a Landmark Lecture: \nHighlights From 50 Years of Preservation\nBuildings and the Stories They Tell\nWith Peg Breen\nConservancy President \nThis will be an in-person and online lecture on Tuesday\, March 14th\, 6:00 pm \nGeneral Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of The City of New York\n20 West 44th Street (between 5th and 6th Avenues)\nManhattan \nIN- PERSON RSVP HERE \nONLINE RSVP HERE \nPeg Breen\, the New York Landmarks Conservancy President\, will lead an illustrated talk on the Conservancy’s history and mission. Buildings tell stories and her presentation will include images from “50 at 50”\, an interactive\, online exhibition launched in January to kick off the Conservancy’s 50th anniversary. \nIn 1973\, the Conservancy’s visionary founders realized that landmark designation alone wouldn’t always save a building\, and they saw the need for a group with financial and technical skills to help property owners maintain their historic structures. They also sought a group that could devote the time required to pull off major preservation projects. \nFrom its gutsy beginnings finding new uses for vacant public buildings\, the Conservancy has become one of the largest preservation groups in the country. \nThe Conservancy’s range of financial and technical programs has helped protect more than 1\,300 historic structures\, providing more than $60 million in grants and loans which has leveraged $900 million to preserve worthy buildings and neighborhoods throughout New York. \nGeneral Admission: $15\nGeneral Society and New York Landmarks Conservancy Members: $10\nStudents: $5\nAdvance registration is required

SUMMARY:A Block in Time\, A New York City History at the Corner of Fifth Avenue and Twenty-Third Street
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\nIn partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York\ncordially invites you to: \nLANDMARK LECTURE\nA Block in Time: A New York City History at the Corner of Fifth Avenue and Twenty-Third Street\nWith author Christiane Bird \nThis will be an in-person and online lecture on December 6\, 6:00 pm \nA book signing will follow this lecture \nIN- PERSON RSVP HERE \nONLINE RSVP HERE \nAuthor Christiane Bird will recount the city’s history by way of a microcosmic block\, in a lecture based on her well-received new book\, A Block in Time: A New York City History at the Corner of Fifth Avenue and Twenty-Third Street. \nThis is the story of New York City\, told through the prism of one block. It’s a story of forest and cement\, bird cries and taxi horns\, theaters and factories\, gambling dens\, and gourmet foods. It’s also the story of high life and low life\, immigrants and tourists\, farmers and aristocrats\, crooked cops and moral reformers\, toy stores\, and social climbers–from Solomon Pieters\, a former slave who was the first owner of the block\, to Alexander “Clubber” Williams\, the notorious police officer of the 1870s who accepted bribes and wielded his club with equal impunity\, to Marietta Stevens\, whose Sunday-night socials and scheming became the stuff of legend. Greed and generosity\, guilt and innocence\, extravagance and degradation–all have flourished on this one Manhattan block\, emblematic of the city as a whole. \nVenturing from the opulent halls of the Fifth Avenue Hotel to grimy Sixth Avenue brothels\, from the era of the Lenape to that of the Dutch\, from the Gilded Age to the twentieth century\, when the block and the city were transformed into something closely resembling the Manhattan we know today\, A Block in Time takes us on a dynamic\, exhilarating tour of history. Welcome to New York\, past and present\, and hear all the lively\, colorful\, and edifying stories this small patch of land has to tell. \nChristiane Bird is the author of The Sultan’s Shadow; A Thousand Sighs\, a Thousand Revolts; and Neither East Nor West\, among other titles. She has worked on staff for the New York Daily News and has written for the Wall Street Journal\, Washington Post\, Los Angeles Times\, and Miami Herald\, among other publications. \n“Enriched by Bird’s brisk character sketches and copious research\, this is an entertaining and eye-opening snapshot of New York history.” Publishers Weekly \nThe book can be purchased in person at the lecture or online through the following link \nGeneral Admission: $10\nAdvance registration is required.\nwww.generalsociety.org

SUMMARY:Engineering America: The Life and Times of John A. Roebling
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\nIn partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York\ncordially invites you to: \nLANDMARK LECTURE\nEngineering America: The Life and Times of John A. Roebling\nWith Professor Richard Haw \n \nThis will be an in-person and online lecture on September 29th\, 6:00 pm\nThis lecture will be followed by a book signing \n\nIN-PERSON RSVP \n\nONLINE RSVP\n\nIn this lecture\, Professor Richard Haw\, will discuss his book\, Engineering America: The Life and Times of John A. Roebling. John Roebling was one of the nineteenth century’s most brilliant engineers\, ingenious inventors\, successful manufacturers\, and fascinating personalities. Raised in a German backwater amid the war-torn chaos of the Napoleonic Wars\, he immigrated to the US in 1831\, where he became wealthy and acclaimed\, eventually receiving a carte-blanche contract to build one of the nineteenth century’s most stupendous and daring works of engineering: a gigantic suspension bridge to span the East River between New York and Brooklyn. In between\, he thought\, wrote\, and worked tirelessly. He dug canals and surveyed railroads; he planned communities and founded new industries. \nLike his finest creations\, Roebling was held together by the delicate balance of countervailing forces. On the surface\, his life was exemplary and his accomplishments legion. As an immigrant and employer\, he was respected throughout the world. As an engineer\, his works profoundly altered the physical landscape of America. He was a voracious reader\, a fervent abolitionist\, and an engaged social commentator. His understanding of the natural world\, however\, bordered on the occult and his opinions about medicine are best described as medieval. For a man of science and great self-certainty\, he was also remarkably quick to seize on a whole host of fads and foolish trends. Yet Roebling held these strands together. \nJohn Roebling was a complex\, deeply divided yet undoubtedly influential figure\, and this talk will provide an overview of not only his works\, but also the world of nineteenth-century America. Roebling’s engineering feats are well known\, but the man himself is not; for alongside the drama of large-scale construction lies an equally rich drama of intellectual and social development and crisis\, one that mirrored and reflected the great forces\, trials\, and failures of nineteenth-century America. \nRichard Haw is a Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice\, CUNY. He is the author of The Brooklyn Bridge: A Cultural History and Art of the Brooklyn Bridge: A Visual History. \nThe book can be purchased in person at the lecture or online through the following link\nGeneral Admission: $10\nAdvance registration is required.\nwww.generalsociety.org

Bertolini\, AIA\, Principal and Colleagues from Bertolini Architectural Works\nIncluding Eric Vonderhyde\, Principal; Ryan Hopewell\, Associate Principal; and Carlos Honorio\, Jr.\, AIA\, Associate Principal \n \nThis will be an in-person and online lecture on September 15th\, 6:00 pm \nIN-PERSON RSVP \nONLINE RSVP \nBertolini Architectural Works have spearheaded many large-scale façade projects in the Tudor City Landmark District. In this presentation\, Oswald L. Bertolini\, AIA\, Principal\, along with his colleagues\, architects Eric Vonderhyde\, Ryan Hopewell\, and Carlos Honorio Jr.\, AIA\, will discuss the history of the area that transformed into Tudor City\, including prewar construction techniques. Together they will also discuss the conditions of these buildings in the early 1990s when they were first engaged to specify repairs. \nIn addition\, they will discuss the history of the Façade Inspection Safety Program (Local Law 10/80 & Local 11/98)\, and how these laws have evolved. There will be a discussion of the repairs and how the laws are driving the technology used to make the repairs.

Among other things\, Bertolini Architectural Works have recently replaced the prominent center cartouche at 5 Tudor City Place from terra cotta to fiberglass and a few gargoyles in terra-cotta. \nTudor City is an apartment complex located on Manhattan’s East 40s\, situated on a low cliff. Originally constructed between 1925 to 1928\, it was the first residential skyscraper complex in the world. It was also one of the largest and most important examples of a planned middle-class residential community in New York City. It is famous for its castle-like apartment buildings in the Tudor revival style that was designed by architects Fred French and H. Douglas Ives and has been featured numerous times as a setting for movies\, TV\, fashion magazines\, and commercials. \nGeneral Admission: $15\nGeneral Society and New York Landmarks Conservancy Members: $10\nStudents: $5\nAdvance registration is required to receive the online link.

SUMMARY:TKTS Booth and the Revitalization of Times Square
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of the City of New York\, cordially invite you to a special lecture. \n  \nTKTS Booth and the Revitalization of Times Square \nwith Nick Leahy\, Perkins Eastman \n  \nMr. Leahy of Perkins Eastman will discuss the iconic design that transformed Times Square from into the one of the most visited public gathering spaces on the globe. The overarching challenge was to remake a City’s icon and create the catalyst that would eventually lead to a major urban renewal project to transform of New York’s Times Square into a true town square—a place for people to gather. \nThis this illustrated talk will take you behind the scenes of the world’s largest publicly accessible all-structural glass building. Mr. Leahy will share the structural\, physical\, logistical\, and technological challenges the international project team navigated to create one of the world’s most renowned urban spectacles—an important symbol not only for the City of New York\, but also internationally. \nThis modern landmark has immeasurably raised the profile of the Theatre Development Fund (TDF)\, which operates the booth to provide a discount outlet for tickets (TKTS) to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. Creating public space where there was none before\, it also has recast our notions of what it can mean to interact with the built environment—ultimately elevating the expectations for architecture in the public realm. \nIn addition to his work on the TKTS Booth\, Mr. Leahy’s other projects include; the Museum of Natural History Spitzer Hall of Human Origins and Butterfly Conservatory; The Tenement Museum\, the Container Globe\, a modern interpretation of the famous Globe Theater designed and constructed entirely from shipping containers; and numerous others. \nNick Leahy is Co-CEO and Executive Director at Perkins Eastman\, his projects are distinguished by their critical balance of place\, program\, and craft. Key to his design methodology is to investigate each site’s relationship to its environment\, history\, and its intended use. His designs for civic buildings\, performing arts centers\, museums\, and institutional facilities can be found across the United States\, Europe\, Asia\, and the Middle East. \n$15 General Admission; $10 General Society Members\, New York Landmarks Conservancy Members\, and Senior Citizens; $5 Students. \nAdvance registration is required. \nSeating is limited for in-person attendees. \nProof of vaccination and masks are required for anyone attending in person. \nGeneral Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen\n20 West 44th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues) \nREGESTER – In person here \nREGISTER – Virtual here

SUMMARY:Saving Face: Terra Cotta Testing and Treatments
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of the City of New York\, cordially invite you to a special series of lectures in \nOctober and November. \nSaving Face: Terra Cotta Testing and Treatments with Helen Thomas-Haney\, Jablonksi Building Conservation \nArchitectural terra cotta is plain or ornamental building units consisting of fired mixtures of clay\, fusible materials\, and grog with a glazed or unglazed ceramic finish. Manufactured in the United States starting in the mid-1840s\, architectural terra cotta flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a less expensive alternative to carved stone. The basic fabrication process for architectural terra cotta has remained the same for the past 150 years. This presentation will provide a brief history and description of manufacturing and installation processes for terra cotta. However\, the focus of the presentation will be the practice and challenges of repairing deteriorated terra cotta from surveying and probes\, to testing to characterize the material and help determine the causes of deterioration\, and common restoration techniques.

SUMMARY:The Cast Stone of The Coignet Building: Hidden in Plain Sight
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York\, cordially invites you to: \nThe Cast Stone of The Coignet Building: Hidden in Plain Sight \nMary Jablonski\, President and Founder of Jablonski Building Conservation \n  \nBuildings can have stories hidden within the products used to construct them. When research is carefully undertaken\, interesting stories unfold. One of the most intriguing examples of this is the Coignet Building in Brooklyn (pictured). In her talk\, Mary Jablonski\, President of Jablonski Building Conservation will discuss this unique building and the role her firm played in its conservation. \nIn 1873\, the New York and Long Island Coignet Stone Company built offices along the Gowanus Canal to serve as an advertisement for the company’s cast stone products. It is believed to be the earliest cast stone building in the country. The building was a showcase for the firm with its veneer cast stone block surfaces having a variety of finishes; rusticated\, smooth\, beveled\, and ornamented surfaces displaying the possibilities of the new cast stone material. The building miraculously survived and has become a significant element in the story of industrialization of building products and the growing importance of concrete. One hundred and forty years after it was built\, the Coignet Building remained standing\, barely. \nWhen work began on the restoration of the Coignet Building in 2014\, little was known about the cast stone. In her talk\, Ms. Jablonski will describe what her team discovered and how the building was conserved and restored. The Conservancy recognized the building’s excellent restoration with its highest preservation honor\, a Lucy G. Moses Award\, in 2016. \nMary Jablonski is the President and Founder of Jablonski Building Conservation\, Inc. and has over 26 years’ experience in historic conservation. She oversees the firm’s projects to ensure a consistent methodology is applied across projects and to maintain quality control. She has special interests in decorative finishes\, early 1800s frame buildings\, and modern materials including plastics. She is a Fellow of the American Institute for Conservation and the Association for Preservation Technology and an adjunct associate professor in the Historic Preservation Program at Columbia University. \nSuggested donation:\n$15 General Admission; $10 General Society Members and New York Landmarks Conservancy Members and Senior Citizens; $5 Students \nAdvance registration is required to receive the link to the Zoom Webinar platform. \n  \nPhoto Credit: Trix Rosen

SUMMARY:Forensic Architecture: The Making of the Tenement Museum
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with\, The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York\, cordially invites you to: \nForensic Architecture: The Making of the Tenement Museum \nNick Leahy\, Co-CEO and Executive Director at Perkins Eastman \nSpecial Guest: Dave Favaloro\nSenior Director of Curatorial Affairs and Hebrew Technical Institute Research Fellow\, Tenement Museum \nThe tenement holds a special place in the urban and social history of New York City and\, indeed\, the story of immigration to America. New York’s City’s Tenement Museum\, founded in 1988 as a fledgling museum\, has evolved over the years into one of the most popular cultural destinations in the city. \nIn this talk\, Nick Leahy of Perkins Eastman will look at the development of the museum into a unique civic resource that preserves the buildings and stories of the historic Lower East Side neighborhood. Focusing on its expansion from 2006 until 2019\, the build-out of 97 Orchard Street\, as well as its expansion into 103 Orchard Street\, it is an intimate window into the neighborhood that was once the nation’s most active immigrant portal. This talk will peel back the literal layers of history that comprise the urban campus of the Tenement Museum. Mr. Leahy\, describes the approach to the work at the museum as “forensic architecture\,” preserving century-old tenements and revealing the stories of nearly 20\,000 residents who lived there from the late 1800s through the 1970s. \nNick Leahy is Co-CEO and Executive Director at Perkins Eastman\, His projects are distinguished by their critical balance of place\, program\, and craft. Key to his design methodology is to investigate each site’s relationship to its environment\, history\, and its intended use. His designs for civic buildings\, performing arts centers\, museums\, and institutional facilities can be found across the United States\, Europe\, Asia\, and the Middle East. In addition to his work on the Tenement Museum\, these projects include the internationally renowned TKTS Booth in the heart of Times Square; the winning international design competition entry for the Shanghai World Expo Public Events Center; the Museum of Natural History Spitzer Hall of Human Origins and Butterfly Conservatory; the Container Globe\, a modern interpretation of the famous Globe Theater designed and constructed entirely from shipping containers; and numerous others. \nSuggested donation:\n$15 General Admission; $10 General Society Members and New York Landmarks Conservancy Members and Senior Citizens; $5 Students \nAdvance registration is required to receive the link to the Zoom Webinar platform. \n  \nphoto credit: \nTenement Museum Visitors Center \nCopyright: Paul Rivera / Courtesy: Perkins Eastman

SUMMARY:The Impact & Possibilities of Preservation: Lessons from the Neighborhood Preservation Center
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York\, cordially invites you to: \nLANDMARK LECTURE \nThe Impact & Possibilities of Preservation: Lessons from the Neighborhood Preservation Center \nWith Felicia Mayro\, Preservationist\nBoard Chair\, Neighborhood Preservation Center \nIntroduction by Lisa Easton\, Easton Architects\nCurator of the Landmark Lecture Series \nThe Neighborhood Preservation Center has been a unique initiative from its start. It was a project created and sponsored by the St. Mark’s Historic Landmark Fund to adaptively reuse the historic Ernest Flagg Rectory of St. Mark’s Church In-the Bowery on New York’s Lower East Side. For 20 years\, NPC operated as a co-working space providing below-market rate office and meeting space to community groups and nonprofits. The space gave voice to community needs and gave birth to organizations. It also fostered conversations and collaborations and became a hub to a diverse community of “neighborhood preservationists” that included artist-activists\, environmentalists\, housing advocates\, urban planners\, as well as historic preservationists. In 2020\, NPC started its next chapter as its own not-for-profit organization. \nThrough the lens of her experience at the Neighborhood Preservation Center\, Felicia Mayro will talk about some of the projects and people moving preservation forward today and share the goals of the new Neighborhood Preservation Center. \nFelicia Mayro chairs the Board of Directors of the Neighborhood Preservation Center. From 2000-2018 she was NPC’s director when it was first launched as a project of the St. Mark’s Historic Landmark Fund; she also led the Landmark Fund as its Executive Director. In addition to the Landmark Fund\, Felicia has worked for several nonprofits in New York City including the World Monuments Fund\, FRIENDS of the Upper East Side Historic Districts\, and Sure We Can. She was a co-founder of Five Dutch Days Five Boroughs and has served on the boards of the James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation\, Preservation Alumni\, and Bakas Pilipinas. Born in Philadelphia\, Felicia holds an MS in Historic Preservation from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture\, Preservation\, and Planning and a BA in Art & Architectural History and Classical Archaeology from Tufts University. \n1.0 AIA LU credit is available for qualifying participants. \nAdvance registration is required to receive the link to the Zoom Webinar platform. \nPhoto caption – Preservation League of New York State.

SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: Material Transfers - Metaphor\, Craft\, and Place in Contemporary Architecture
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to: \nLANDMARK LECTURE\nMaterial Transfers – Metaphor\, Craft\, and Place in Contemporary Architecture\nWith Françoise Astorg Bollack- Architect\, Architectural Historian\, and Preservationist \nIn a lecture\, based on her book\, Material Transfers: Metaphor\, Craft\, and Place in Contemporary Architecture\, architect\, architectural historian\, and preservationist Françoise Astorg Bollack presents projects that use traditional materials to build contemporary forms or use modern materials to build traditional forms\, blurring the boundary between tradition and modernity in architecture. Ms. Bollack rejects the modernist taboo against imitation and precedent\, tracing the history of adaptive and imitative design from the Renaissance to the Greek and Gothic Revivals and to the 19th century modular cast-iron facades that Philip Johnson considered “the basis for modern design.” \nFrançoise Bollack will discuss some of 18 contemporary projects in the US\, Europe\, and Japan\, featured in the book\, encompassing a broad range of building types: residential\, hospitality\, commercial and retail\, and cultural spaces. All share an intriguing\, even radical\, approach to reinterpreting traditional forms and materials. Humble thatch moves beyond the farmhouse roof to clad the walls of a Danish environmental center; a photographic image of a Parisian facade becomes a scrim on the facade of a new building\, and the ghost of an ancient Italian basilica is outlined in wire mesh.

SUMMARY:Preserving New York City's Significant Places of Black History
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn commemoration of its 56th Anniversary\, The Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC)\, in collaboration with The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, and the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation  \ncordially invites you to: \nPreserving New York City’s Significant Places of Black History \n \nFor five decades the LPC has been recognizing\, supporting\, and celebrating places of African American cultural and historic significance through designation. Join us as LPC’s Director of Research\, Kate Lemos McHale\, discusses landmarks and historic districts that illustrate the experiences of African Americans throughout New York City history. \nThe African American experience has been central to New York City since its earliest colonial settlement\, and the lives\, history\, and culture of its Black residents and leaders are recognized in landmarks and historic districts throughout the City. These include places designated in recognition of their associations with New York City’s Black history from before the Civil War through the Civil Rights Movement\, designated properties where more recent scholarship post-designation has revealed important connections\, and historic districts located within historically African American neighborhoods. \nWhile many landmark designations acknowledge the history of segregation and discrimination; they also reflect the achievements and resilience of people\, groups\, and organizations who faced serious challenges\, created opportunities and made significant achievements in social\, economic\, political\, and cultural arenas of New York City and American life. \nFor more information contact Arianna Cooper at aricooper@lpc.nyc.gov or Victoria Pennacchio at (646) 248-8760. \n

SUMMARY:MultiStories: 55 Antique Skyscrapers &  the Business Tycoons Who Built Them
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to: \nMultiStories: 55 Antique Skyscrapers & the Business Tycoons Who Built Them\nWith author Mark Houser \nPeg Breen\, President\, The New York Landmarks Conservancy will provide introductory remarks. \nNew York and Chicago are the birthplaces of skyscrapers\, but tall office towers radically transformed every city in America. For his new book\, MultiStories: 55 Antique Skyscrapers & the Business Tycoons Who Built Them\, Mark Houser traveled widely to find the best landmark high-rises in 36 cities in the United States and abroad. In this talk\, the award-winning writer and speaker will discuss his extensive research with observations gleaned from touring these spectacular old high-rises\, with a focus on New York. His presentation will include Beaux-Arts facades\, dazzling lobbies\, rooftop decks\, and behind-the-scenes surprises in antique skyscrapers from Manhattan to Miami\, Cincinnati to San Francisco\, and unexpected details about the Gilded Age millionaires who commissioned the world’s first skyscrapers. These soaring structures — “machines that make the land pay\,” as Woolworth Building architect Cass Gilbert described them — proclaimed their owners’ influence and remain as legacies of a fascinating\, forgotten past. \nMark Houser is an award-winning journalist and frequent public speaker who has appeared on CNN\, FOX\, and NPR\, and given a TEDx Talk. Hundreds of people have taken his “Antique Skyscraper Rooftops” guided tour in Pittsburgh. For more information on Mr. Houser\, and to purchase the book\, please visit www.housertalks.com. \n“Buildings tell stories\, and Mark Houser has captured them in a fascinating look at historic skyscrapers from an era of growth and optimism.” — Peg Breen\, New York Landmarks Conservancy.

SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: The Appearance Of The Past
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy\, in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York\, cordially invites you to: \nLANDMARK LECTURE\nThe Appearance Of The Past  \nWith Donald Friedman\, Principal\, Old Structures Engineering \n\npictured: Fulton Market\, 1870 \nLandmarks are survivors and give us only a partial view of the past. Designated buildings are luckier than average and often better-looking than average.  What did New York actually look like in 1900? You need to look beyond the remnants to get a sense of what the experience of the built environment used to be. In his lecture\, Donald Friedman\, Principal\, Old Structures Engineering will examine The Appearance Of The Past. \nIn 1900 more than half of the population of Manhattan lived in tenements\, there were no playgrounds\, large areas of the city had no parks of any kind\, and there was one bridge (and no tunnels) crossing the East River. Buildings tended to be clustered by type\, so there were skyscraper districts downtown and near Madison Square\, while large portions of the Upper West Side consisted almost entirely of rowhouses and large portions of the Upper East Side consisted almost entirely of tenements and small factories. Streets were a crowded combination of horse-drawn vehicles\, streetcars\, and pedestrians; the use of coal for heat created black smog. In short\, the city 120 years ago was smaller-scale than it is now\, but in some ways a more intense urban experience\, as Mr. Friedman will describe in his talk. \nDonald Friedman is President of Old Structures Engineering\, PC\, a structural engineering consulting firm for historic and old buildings. He has over 25 years experience in the investigation\, analysis\, and restoration of landmark buildings. Representative projects include: structural design of repairs to the crypts at the New York Marble Cemetery; investigation and alteration feasibility study of Castle Clinton; investigation of damage and repairs to Belvedere Castle; facade analysis and design of new terra cotta supports for the 1906 Langham Apartments; and frame analysis and alterations to the 1896 Gerken building. \nMr. Friedman holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and an M.A. in Historical Studies from the New School. In addition to Mr. Friedman’s project work\, he has taught extensively and is the author of numerous books including The Structure of Skyscrapers in America.

SUMMARY:Down the Bridle Path: Exploring the Vestiges of Greenwich Village's Equine Past
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially invites you to: \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nDown the Bridle Path: Exploring the Vestiges of Greenwich Village’s Equine Past \nGregory Dietrich\, Gregory Dietrich Preservation Consulting \nFor centuries New Yorkers relied on horses to transport them uptown\, downtown\, crosstown\, and beyond\, often retracing the paths created by the Native Americans on horseback who came before them. However\, nearly all of the City’s equine culture has been forgotten\, supplanted by a cacophony of cars\, trucks\, motorcycles\, and bicycles. And yet this history is not only present\, but especially palpable in Greenwich Village\, which still offers vestiges of the City’s equine past through its former horse walks\, stables\, and mews. \nJoin architectural historian\, Gregory Dietrich\, as he takes you down the bridle path of this all but forgotten\, yet tangible\, legacy of Village horse culture. \nIn addition to his consulting work\, he served as an adjunct professor at FIT between 2008 and 2018 and currently teaches a seminar within the Urban Design and Architecture Studies Program at NYU. In addition to teaching\, Mr. Dietrich is regularly engaged as a guest speaker\, tour guide\, moderator\, and panelist on a wide variety of preservation topics. For more information\, please visit Gregory Dietrich Preservation Consulting. \n \nPictured: “Streetcar in the Snow”\, Harper’s Weekly\, February 24th 1872

The effort to save the BMB is 18 years in the making\, and nearing completion. In this lecture\, Tim Fryatt\, Director of Marvel Architects will discuss the project and during his presentation will offer a visual tour of the building through time\, highlighting challenges in adaptive reuse along the way. \nWorking with NYC Economic Development Corporation and the developer Midtown Equities\, Marvel Architects identified unique needs to satisfy modern safety standards and new building uses to ensure the building’s historic legacy is preserved. Through a careful process\, the team has crafted an elegantly modern and historically sensitive redevelopment\, a cornerstone to the city’s broad-based goals of transforming Lower Manhattan into a vibrant mixed-use community and revitalizing the waterfront for the 21st century. \nTim Fryatt\, AIA is Director at Marvel Architects with 22 years of experience leading complex projects across a wide range of scales and sectors. Known as a prolific designer and a creative catalyst\, Tim is dedicated to developing meaningful places that leverage latent value\, behave naturally\, and inspire delight. Presently Tim is the lead Architect overseeing over 1 million square feet of development across three boroughs of New York City. A registered architect and a member of the Maplewood NJ Township Planning Board\, Tim’s work has been widely awarded\, published\, and exhibited\, including in the New York Times and Museum of Modern Art.
