Join HDC at Cooper Union for an exclusive curator-led tour of the exhibit “Thank You, Herman Jessor.” This exhibit, created and curated by photographer Zara Pfeifer and author Daniel Jonas Roche, showcases the work of prolific architect Herman Jessor, who designed more than 40,000 units of cooperative housing over the course of his 60-year career, including Co-op City in the Bronx, Rochdale Village in Queens, Penn South in Manhattan, and Amalgamated Warbasse Houses in Brooklyn.
On this tour, presented in conjunction with HDC’s 2025 Conference: Challenges and Opportunities for Historic Affordable Housing, Pfeifer and Roche will walk us through the exhibit and share insight about Jessor’s transformative work and the inspiration it offers in New York’s current fight for affordability.
General Admission $20 /Friends of HDC and Seniors $15
