In the early 20th Century, New York City’s garment industry not only clothed the nation, but also helped shape New York’s urban fabric, creating the manufacturing lofts in Manhattan where workers toiled, and the cooperative housing developments in the Bronx where they lived. Join us for an in-depth exploration of how labor history and architectural history shaped The Garment District and the North East Bronx, stitching these two neighborhoods together.
