Architots
Through unique drawing, building, and model-making programs, children learn basic techniques and gain an appreciation and basic understanding of the construction all around them and gain a blueprint for the creative process. They learn how an idea inside one's mind takes the form of a plan, and how that plan becomes a reality.
Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse
The United States Courthouse is the last work by Cass Gilbert, designer of the Woolworth Building. The 31-storey building has a pyramid-topped tower set upon a classical temple case. Aerial walkways link this building with the Police Plaza Annex.
AT&T Building
In the entrance lobby, one wall is covered with a tiled map of the world and the ceiling has allegorical mosaic decor. The massive brick-clad "pyramid" facade has stripe motifs to enhance verticality, and the Church Street side of the facade is oblique in direction of the street.
Woolworth Building
The Woolworth Building was the most recognizable skyscraper in the world until the Chrysler Building was built in 1930. When Cass Gilbert was designing the Woolworth Building, he wanted to incorporate Gothic themes with the modern idea of a skyscraper. The result, termed Gothic Revival, features gargoyles, arches and flying buttresses.
Old New York County Courthouse
The Old New York County Courthouse, better known as Tweed Courthouse, is architecturally one of New York's greatest civic monuments. Built between 1861 and 1881, it is the product of two of New York's most prominent 19th-century architects, John Kellum and Leopold Eidlitz. Tweed is a designated New York City landmark and sections of the interior are designated interior landmarks as well.
ArchiKids and ArchiCamp
ArchiKids offers young people the opportunity to explore the built world around them and to stretch their imaginations, with a goal of educating and inspiring children through architecture. A child doesn't necessarily need to aspire to a career in architecture to enjoy the ArchiKids programs, just a strong sense of curiosity about the world and a desire to explore and test new ideas
Eldridge Street Synagogue
Eldridge Street was the first building designed and built to be a synagogue by Jews from Eastern Europe, and the congregation has not missed a Sabbath service in the 110 years since the synagogue's opening. The Eldridge Street Synagogue is a New York City Landmark, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and, in 1996, was awarded National Historic Landmark status by the Federal government. The building is undergoing a $10 million renovation; recently its skylights were unsealed and opened to view for the first time in fifty years.
City Hall
The oldest City Hall in the nation that still houses its original governmental functions, New York’s City Hall is considered one of the finest architectural achievements of its period. Constructed from 1803 to 1812, the building was an early expression of the City’s cosmopolitanism. City Hall is a designated New York City landmark, and its rotunda is a designated interior landmark as well. Tours are available on weekdays and are offered free of charge.
Cunard Building
When you enter the Cunard Building at 25 Broadway, you'll find it awash in things marine: starfish, seahorses, shells, sirens, an albatross, and the vessels of Columbus and others. All are celebrated in paintings, murals, and medallions. The grandly presented theme underscores the power and reach of the Cunard Line when its new headquarters opened in 1919. It was a time when New York City also exercised great power and reach. The metropolis had become the largest city and busiest port in the world.
