Historic Walking Tours of Coney Island Continue
Walking Tour on Sunday
Sunday promises to be a beautiful day to join our walking tour of historic Coney Island! Don’t miss your chance!
The guided tour will cover all the historic buildings along Surf Avenue, as well as some of Coney’s existing landmarks. We will have historic pictures so you can see what the buildings once were; and a few renderings illustrating how these buildings could be creatively restored and reused.
WHERE – In front of the Shore Theater, on the corner of Surf and Stillwell Aves
WHEN – Sunday, September 5th at 11:00 am (and every Sunday thereafter through the end of Sept, rain or shine.)
FREE! (but suggested donation of $10 appreciated)
We will take a stroll down Surf Avenue and discuss Coney Island’s surviving historic buildings. Unfortunately, several of these buildings are threatened with imminent demolition. These include Henderson’s Music Hall, where Harpo Marx first performed with his brothers Groucho and Gummo, and the Grashorn Building, Coney Island’s oldest structure.
This will be a great opportunity to find out more about the corridor that we hope will remain the historic core of a spectacular 21st-century Coney Island that honors the area’s heritage.
All comers get a free Save Coney Island button and a copy of our brand new Save Coney Island map! (a special thanks to everyone who donated and made the printing of this trial run possible!!)
Hope you can join us!
