Thank you Greg. 00:03:57 --> 00:04:01: Thanks for the introduction and for inviting me to present 00:04:01 --> 00:04:04: to the UI Westchester and Fairfield chapter. 00:04:04 --> 00:04:07: This lecture on the architectural history and design of early 00:04:08 --> 00:04:12: 20th century apartment buildings in Westchester and Fairfield counties stems 00:04:12 --> 00:04:13: from research. 00:04:13 --> 00:04:16: Bob Stern and others in our office have done over 00:04:16 --> 00:04:20: the years on New York and the American suburbs. 00:04:20 --> 00:04:24: I'd like to stress that I'm not an architectural historian, 00:04:24 --> 00:04:27: but instead I'm an architect with a deep interest in 00:04:28 --> 00:04:29: architectural history, 00:04:29 --> 00:04:33: and it's been fun and fascinating to put to putting 00:04:33 --> 00:04:34: this lecture together, 00:04:34 --> 00:04:38: spending time researching these two counties. 00:04:38 --> 00:04:42: I'd also like to thank Ariana Corey Ramsey's research manager 00:04:42 --> 00:04:46: who was instrumental in helping me prepare this presentation. 00:04:46 --> 00:04:49: So with that, let's begin. 00:04:49 --> 00:04:53: It's difficult to discuss the rise in popularity of apartment 00:04:53 --> 00:04:57: living in Westchester and Fairfield without looking at its beginnings 00:04:57 --> 00:04:58: in New York City. 00:04:58 --> 00:05:00: Well into the 19th century, 00:05:00 --> 00:05:03: housing in New York City was concentrated at the southern 00:05:04 --> 00:05:06: tip of Manhattan in what is now downtown, 00:05:06 --> 00:05:10: while the rest of the island remained relatively rural. 00:05:10 --> 00:05:14: The early city featured rudimentary zoning with industrial. 00:05:14 --> 00:05:18: An waterfront uses placed along the edges of the city 00:05:18 --> 00:05:21: and commercial and residential in the center. 00:05:21 --> 00:05:25: Generally, however, 18th and 19th century New Yorkers did not 00:05:25 --> 00:05:28: clearly distinguish between residential space and workplace, 00:05:28 --> 00:05:33: and there were spaces for dwelling and business Co mingle. 00:05:33 --> 00:05:35: At the beginning of the 19th century, 00:05:35 --> 00:05:39: this began to change as successful business owners sought to 00:05:39 --> 00:05:41: establish houses further North, 00:05:41 --> 00:05:46: resulting in the formation of new residential neighborhoods 3 for the 00:05:46 --> 00:05:46: cities. 00:05:46 --> 00:05:50: Well to do. An important example of this is Washington 00:05:50 --> 00:05:50: Square Park, 00:05:50 --> 00:05:54: which was developed in 1826 when the city transformed what 00:05:54 --> 00:05:57: had originally been a Potters field. 00:05:57 --> 00:06:01: An burial place for the Pour into a public park. 00:06:01 --> 00:06:05: The surrounding area quickly became the city's most fashionable neighborhood, 00:06:05 --> 00:06:09: where the wealthiest New Yorkers lived in the single family 00:06:09 --> 00:06:10: residential type. 00:06:10 --> 00:06:12: Most characteristic of New York.
