Deco From Murray Hill to Gramercy Park Walking Tour WAIT LIST ONLY

Although the low-scale residential neighborhood of Murray Hill, tucked in the shadows of Midtown skyscrapers, still shelters many of its residents in brownstones and townhouses dating back as far as pre-Civil War days, this tour will feature some of New York’s most notable examples of Art Deco architecture and design.

This unusual collection of buildings highlights how the Art Deco style was utilized to create unique architectural treasures––each different from the next. On this walk through Manhattan we will see:

• A surprising modernist apartment building tucked among the genteel townhouses of Murray Hill
• One of Ely Jacques Kahn’s most impressive office buildings, as well as another wonderful Kahn design
• A work designed by the great French ironwork master, Edgar Brandt
• The iconic Empire State Building, inside and out
• An incomplete attempt by Metropolitan Life to capture the Empire State Building’s “World’s Tallest” title
• A special building that has some of the most eye-catching Art Deco terracotta ornamentation in the city, Gramercy House
