Calendar of Events

6:00 – 7:00 p.m.

via Zoom

In a special Six to Celebrate walking tour, long-time Audubon Park resident and HDC Board Adviser, Wayne Benjamin will interview The Neighborhood Manhattan Forgot: Audubon Park and the Families Who Shaped It author Matthew Spady. During the discussion Mr. Spady will examine the Washington Heights neighborhood of Audubon Park (the interlocking Audubon Terrace and Audubon Park Historic Districts) and how it might have looked very different from the way it does now if events at strategic moments had played out differently. Starting with the current footprint of the neighborhood and working backwards he will explain how Audubon Park got its unusual shape and provide a history based on the streetscape.
