Event Details Open House New York 2009 - Sunday It's the 7th annual OpenHouseNewYork weekend, where you can go into sites and buildings normally off-limits to the public. Whether you're into Architecture, History or just like snooping around, it's a good time. Here's the Plan: Meet at 64th and 5th Ave at 10:00 AM Arsenal, The 830 5th Ave/ 64th St, New York building date: 1847-1851 Built to house munitions for the NYS National Guard, The Arsenal resembles a fortress with its crenellated cornice and rooftop turrets. Now NYC Dept of Parks & Recreation headquarters, the building has served as a police station, zoo, weather station and the first American Museum of Natural History. Its treasures include WPA lobby murals, original drawings of Central Park and roof gardens with spectacular views. Next, we'll head across the street to: Temple Emanu-El 1 E 65th St/ 5th Ave, New York building date: 1927 - 1929 Built in the Modern Romanesque style popular in the late 1920s, Temple Emanu-El is now the largest synagogue in the world. Then, we'll take the F train or Roosevelt Island Tramway to: Roosevelt Island Southpoint Park Southpoint Park, Smallpox Hospital NY building date: 1858 Located a the southern tip of Roosevelt Island, this fine Gothic Revival structure was originally constructed for the treatment of that "loathsome malady," smallpox, and for many years was New York City's only such institution. It is now a picturesque ruin, one which could readily serve as the setting for a 19th century "Gothic" romance. After that, maybe lunch or, if we're ambitious, head downtown to see the following: Broad Street Ballroom 41 Broad St/ Beaver St, New York building date: 1929 Formerly a bank and once used for the New York Stock Exchange, the building has since undergone an extensive restoration of the banking hall, vault area, executive reception, and conference rooms. Seaport Past & Future Exhibit 191 Front St/ Fulton St, New York building date: ca. mid 18th-century This exhibit explores the Seaport's two centuries of growth and epic changes that have influenced NYC and the entire region. Archival materials showcase vintage streetscapes presented with the same view as they appear today allowing visitors to compare continuities and transformations.
