From the world-famous Metropolitan Museum of Art, we will set off on a 1. 5 mile walking architectural adventure through the lovely historic neighborhood of Carnegie Hill and then some. Beaux-Arts, Neo-Federal, Chateauesque, Queen Anne, Italiante, Bauhus, and Art Deco are just some of the exquisite architectural styles of mansions, apartment buildings, and Browstones that we'll admire along our fascinating walk through Manhattan's most peaceful neighborhood. This tour is a great opportunity to take photos of magnificent architectural designs. My personal favorite is Frank Lloyd's stunning swan song masterpiece The Guggenheim Museum, which Wright originally envisioned to be covered in red marble. This tour is educational as it is fun!
The casual (1. 5 mile) two hour walking tour is available daily at 3:00 p. m. From the Metropolitan Museum we'll see Rosario Candela's impressive 1927 Stanhope building. Then we'll head down to Madison to glimpse the fantastic Art Deco Carlyle Hotel highrise, visit Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable's former home on Park Avenue. We'll see works from architects such as Delano & Aldrich, Schwartz & Gross, Mills & Bottomley, Stephen C. Lyras, and Gilbert A. Schellenger as we head north to 95th street. At about 30 minutes into the tour you'll have a chance to grab a beverage or snack. We'll have a restroom break opportunity near the end of the tour. The tour ends at about 5 p. m. in front of Frank Lloyd's masterpiece, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Depending on the day of the week, this tour allows robust art lovers an opportunity to visit the Metropolitan Museum prior to the tour, and then visit the Guggenheim Museum after the tour is over.
