Our friends at Landmark West! are bringing this wonderful online event, to you, about West End Avenue with Tom Miller as special guest. You won’t want to miss it! We know these buildings well, now we can learn their backstory.
“West End Avenue was an elegant residential thoroughfare in the 19th century, lined with brick and brownstone mansions. In the early 20th century, however, fashion switched from private homes to upscale apartment living. The rows of private residences were replaced by soaring modern multi-family buildings. But certain homeowners stubbornly resisted the trend. As a result, West End Avenue has numerous eccentric leftovers—once refined rowhouses now vised between soaring apartment buildings.
Don’t miss this special program by history fan favorite Tom Miller (aka the “Daytonian in Manhattan” blogger) for an online tour of West End Avenue’s stubborn, beloved, and literally low-profile holdouts. As always, Miller will share from his trove of deeply researched historic photos and much more to tell the stories that played out within these buildings and what’s going on with them today.” LW! events
