HDC Co-Sponsored Program: The Row House Reborn by Andrew S. Dolkart
As a lead-in to the HDC Conference in March, HDC is co-sponsoring this lecture at the Museum of the City of New York. The lecture will take place on Monday, February 8th at 6:30pm.
In the decades just before and after World War I, a group of architects, homeowners, and developers pioneered innovative and affordable housing alternatives. They converted the deteriorated and bleak row houses of old New York neighborhoods into modern and stylish dwellings. Join Andrew S. Dolkart, author of The Row House Reborn (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009), as he traces this aesthetic movement from its inception in 1908 to a wave of projects for the wealthy on the East Side to the faux artists’ studios for young professionals in Greenwich Village.
