FRIENDS explore Public and Private Space
May 17th, 2010
On Saturday May 15th, FRIENDS hosted a walking tour in Yorkville that explored public and private space. We lucked out with a beautiful sunny morning and a great crowd. Armed with historic photographs and floorplans, architect and designer Katherine Schiavone led the way as the group heard the history of John Jay and Carl Shurz Parks, and gazed at the beautiful facades of Cherokee Apartments, City and Suburban Homes, and Gracie Mansion. If you missed this fabulous walk, we hope to offer many more opportunities to explore the neighborhood this fall!
