Through historian, author and NYC lecturer Anthony Robins you will be introduced to architects Raymond Hood, William Van Alen, Ely Jacques Kahn and Ralph Walker. Explore their work, including the Daily News, Empire State, Irving Trust, General Electric, American Radiator, Barclay-Vesey and RCA buildings. Then, trace the adaptation of this “skyscraper style” through apartment buildings on the Bronx’s Grand Concourse, airport terminals at LaGuardia and the Central Park West residential skyline.
