SUMMARY:Restoration of the Battery Maritime Building
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially presents: \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nSaving the Battery Maritime Building \nPresented by: Tim Fryatt\, Director\, Marvel Architects \nThe 1909 Battery Maritime Building (“BMB”) was once the crown jewel of the New York City waterfront\, but over time became vacant\, neglected\, and falling into the East River. 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.

SUMMARY:Bricks & Brownstone: The New York Row House
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 watch \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nBricks & Brownstone: The New York Row House\npresented by: Patrick W. Ciccone\, Preservationist & Co-Author \nPatrick W. Ciccone\, a New York City-based preservationist\, will discuss the book he co-authored with the late Charles Lockwood\, Bricks & Brownstone: The New York Row House. This illustrated lecture will feature some of the more than 250 color and black-and-white images included in this newly revised edition. The book is considered to be the gold standard reference on brownstone architecture and interiors\, and one of the few truly classic histories of New York’s urbanism. \nBricks & Brownstone\, initially published in 1972\, was the first and still the only volume to examine in depth the changing form and varied architectural styles of the much-loved New York City row house\, or brownstone. That edition helped pave the way for a brownstone revival that has transformed New York’s historic neighborhoods over the past half-century. \nIn this updated 2019 version\, this definitive volume traces New York’s row houses from colonial days through World War I\, examining in detail the Federal\, Greek Revival\, Gothic Revival\, Italianate\, and Second Empire architectural styles of the early and mid-nineteenth century\, as well as the Neo-Grec\, Queen Anne\, Romanesque\, Renaissance Revival\, and Colonial Revival styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. \n“A bible for buffs\, architects\, and preservationists” – Judith Thurman\, The New Yorker

SUMMARY:Henry Street Settlement - Story of a Loving Restoration
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially presents: \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nHenry Street Settlement – Story of a Loving Restoration\nPresented by: Rachel Miller and Timothy Miller\, Co-Owners\, Spirit Ironworks \nRachel Miller and Timothy Miller will discuss the ironwork restoration of one of New York City’s most beloved\, and historically significant social service agencies\, the Henry Street Settlement. This talk will explore the processes involved in restoring historic ironwork on three Federal-style buildings. The project was a rare opportunity to explore how pre-Civil War ironwork was constructed. They will also describe how the restoration process incorporated many traditional metalworking techniques such as forging genuine wrought iron\, tool and die making\, and replicating cast iron elements. \nThe Landmarks Conservancy assisted in the ironwork restoration with a grant from its City Ventures Fund program which works with nonprofit organizations housed in architecturally significant buildings that are being converted to affordable housing of other uses that benefit lower-income communities. \nThe Millers will also touch on some of the other partners that made the project possible including Henry Street Settlement\, LI Saltzman Architects\, and the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. \nSpirit Ironworks\, Inc. was started as a partnership between siblings Timothy and Rachel Miller. The company has over 25 years of experience in the craft of hand-forged metalwork. Including interior & exterior railings; gates\, fencing\, furniture\, and hardware for high-end residences. Their unique skill set enables them to create in-house hand-forged scroll-work\, repoussé\, and other decorative elements for historical restoration\, art metal fabrication\, and architectural metalwork. \nFor more information please visit www.spiritironworks.com \nVIEW LANDMARK LECTURE EVENT BELOW

SUMMARY:Finding Their Architectural Roots
DESCRIPTION:The New York Landmarks Conservancy in partnership with The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York cordially presents: \nLANDMARK LECTURES \nFinding Their Architectural Roots: Cracking the Mystery of One of Brooklyn’s Most Prolific \nand Distinguished Architectural Firms – Parfitt Brothers \nPresented by: Gregory Dietrich\, Gregory Dietrich Preservation Consulting \nOver the past several decades\, the name “Parfitt Brothers” has become synonymous with some of Brooklyn’s most distinctive buildings from Bensonhurst to Brooklyn Heights. Originally established by English brothers\, Walter and Henry\, in 1875\, and later expanded to include brother\, Albert\, the Parfitt Bros. evolved into one of the borough’s leading architecture firms of its day during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries\, designing a range of institutional\, residential\, and commercial buildings in a wide variety of styles. While much is known about their work in Brooklyn\, little is known about their background in England and their architectural training. Seeking to unlock the mystery of their past\, architectural historian Gregory Dietrich will talk about his quest to uncover the brothers’ origins\, from their humble beginnings in Frome\, England\, to their early years in Brooklyn and the subsequent opening of the practice that led to their renown. \nGregory Dietrich is a graduate of Columbia University’s Historic Preservation and Real Estate Development programs\, He has been working in the field of Historic Preservation for over twenty years. Since 2009 he has been the sole proprietor of Gregory Dietrich Preservation Consulting\, where he has completed historic architectural investigations\, National Register Nominations\, historic tax credit\, and grant applications\, preservation planning and policy studies\, and cultural resource studies. In 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\, Gregory is regularly engaged as a guest speaker\, tour guide\, moderator\, and panelist on a wide variety of preservation topics. \nwww.gdpreservationconsulting.com \nVIEW EVENT LECTURE BELOW

SUMMARY:Professional Circle Tour: Trinity Church Wall Street
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe New York Landmarks Conservancy is very pleased to offer its Professional Circle members an exclusive tour of Trinity Church Wall Street led by Jeff Murphy\, FAIA and members of the design team. Trinity Church Wall Street is in the final stages of an almost two-year rejuvenation project to enhance the overall worship experience\, make spaces accessible and welcoming\, upgrade technology and infrastructure\, and address deferred maintenance. \nTrinity Church Wall Street has been an integral part of New York City for more than 300 years. In 1696\, a small group of Anglicans petitioned the Royal Governor for a charter granting the church legal status. The charter was granted in 1697 and the first Trinity Church was erected at the head of Wall Street facing the Hudson River. \nThe third and current Trinity Church began construction in 1839 and was finished in 1846. Designed by Richard Upjohn\, it is considered one of the first and finest examples of Neo-Gothic architecture in the United States. With a 281-foot high steeple\, Trinity was the tallest building in New York City until 1890. \nSpace is limited\, so please register early. We will maintain a waiting list of everyone else interested in participating and accommodate you as reservations change. \nContact Alissa Catalano at alissacatalano@nylandmarks.org or 212-995-5260\, with any questions.
