Doesn’t it seem we’re always in a hurry and we often don’t take the time to look up?
Well looking UP in NYC is a must. Otherwise you’ll miss out on a number of architecturally significant buildings in styles spanning many historical and cultural periods.
One of the many reasons I love living in this city is the architecture and it starts within my own neighborhood, the Upper West Side. Great afternoon event learning about historical buildings within a couple blocks from my front door. The bonus? Lead by local Upper West Sider, photographer and professor of photography at NYU…John Hart. Thanks to Landmark West for putting it together and for John’s photography and history lessons!
Some favorites…
They certainly don’t make them like they used to and thank god we have preservation groups ready to pounce at any moment!

Yare absolutely right. Look down to check out the woman shoes but look up for the architecture.

Absolutely!

We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed John Hart’s tour and lessons! Your photos are spectacular — would you be able to add their locations? The second one is a personal favorite. The way the metalwork shadow is so crisp on the brick … so good!
