 Upcoming
Programs and Events
As a lead-in to the HDC Conference in March, HDC is
co-sponsoring a lecture at the Museum of the City of New York:
The Row House Reborn, book talk with author Andrew Dolkart
February 8th, 2010
In the decades just before and after World War I, a group of architects,
homeowners, and developers pioneered innovative and affordable housing
alternatives. They converted the deteriorated and bleak row houses
of old New York neighborhoods into modern and stylish dwellings.
Join Andrew S. Dolkart, author of The Row House Reborn (Johns Hopkins
University Press, 2009), as he traces this aesthetic movement from
its inception in 1908 to a wave of projects for the wealthy on the
East Side to the faux artists' studios for young professionals in
Greenwich Village.
6:30 pm, Museum of the City of New York (5th Avenue and
103rd St., Manhattan)

Preservation in New York: The Next Generation
March 5-7, 2010
This year, HDC’s Annual Preservation Conference examines the
future of preservation in New York City as a movement, both in terms
of the types of buildings we should be preserving and the audiences
we must engage in order to be successful. What will be the landmarks
for the next generation and who will be fighting to preserve them?
The Conference will focus on specific types of architecture, including
modern, cultural and vernacular, that have been less appreciated
in the past but are now increasingly seen as significant. We will
examine the reasons these buildings are important and the future
of their preservation. Click here
