TENEMENT MUSEUM TALK - SEEING THE RUINS talk

Remains of the Day The magic of stepping inside 97 Orchard Street is not only seeing the recreated apartments but also seeing the ruins, which are apartments that have been left as we found them in 1988. Experiencing these ruins helps us understand the passage of time. For the April 29 Tenement Talk, please join us in an appreciation of ruined spaces with Andrew Dolkart, Director of Columbia University’s Historic Preservation department, Katherine Malone-France of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and photographers Christopher Payne and Marisa Scheinfeld.
