SUMMARY:Members Only Tour: Armour-Stiner (Octagon) House
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 28th for a tour of the magnificent Armour-Stiner (Octagon) House\, located in Irvington\, NY. The Octagon House is the only known fully domed\, octagonal residence and the only house built in the form of an ancient classical temple in the United States. The home was built in the 1860s by Paul J. Armour\, but New York City tea merchant Joseph Stiner added the dome and verandah to create the elaborate Roman-style temple.\nThe house was briefly owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1976 but was ultimately resold in 1978 to a private citizen. Joseph Pell Lombardi (HP class of 1983)\, the owner\, is a preservation architect specializing in conservation\, restoration and historic preservation throughout the world. Under the direction of Lombardi’s son\, Michael Hall Lombardi has managed\, researched and performed restoration work throughout the house\, including the Egyptian Revival Room\, Basement\, Kitchen\, Greenhouse & Studio and much of the decorative surfaces. \nThe house and grounds have been restored to their 1872 appearance. The interior of the house\, its decoration and its 1870s furnishings are the best display in the country of the American neo-Roman style\, popular for a brief period in the third quarter of the 19th century. Under the guidance of Michael Hall Lombardi\, the only domestic Egyptian Revival room still in existence with its original 19th century furnishings and decoration has been reinstated. The house has been the subject of numerous articles and awards. \nThe tour is open to current students and alumni. Members will meet at Grand Central at 9:45am to take the 10:07am train from Grand Central to Ardsley-on-Hudson. Tours will begin at 11.30am. The first tour will take place from 11:30-12:30 and the second tour will take place from 12:30-1:30. While the first tour is taking place\, the other half of the group can enjoy light refreshments and appetizers/snacks on the porch and see the grounds. Then the groups will switch and the second group will tour\, while the first group enjoys the grounds and refreshments. We will return on the 2:14pm train back to Grand Central. \nPlease email us at info@preservationalumni.org if you plan on driving and we can coordinate parking.

SUMMARY:Members Tour: Great Hall\, New York Hall of Science
DESCRIPTION:** MEET AT 10AM AT THE ADMISSIONS DESK (map here)** \nWe’re excited to announce our upcoming members-only tour of the iconic Great Hall at the New York Hall of Science! Join us on Sunday\, December 9th at 10am for a tour with conservator\, James Marston Fitch fellow\, and HP alum Laura Buchner. She’ll outline the history of the Great Hall\, provide an overview of dalle de verre and her research on the material\, and explain the interior and exterior restoration of the dalle de verre and cast-in-place concrete facade. \nOne of New York City’s signature spaces\, the Great Hall is NYSCI’s original exhibition gallery\, constructed for the 1964–65 World’s Fair. Designed by Wallace K. Harrison\, the Great Hall has undulating walls composed of dalle de verre (also known as faceted glass) that rise 90-feet tall. In 2015\, a major restoration of the Great Hall was completed by Ennead Architects\, with Building Conservation Associates acting as the conservation consultants throughout the exterior and interior restoration\, developing restoration treatments through extensive field and laboratory testing. \nLaura Buchner\, senior conservator at BCA\, was recently awarded the 2018 James Marston Fitch Mid-Career Fellowship for her proposal “The Luminous Dalle de Verre of Gabriel Loire: The Fabrication\, Deterioration\, and Conservation of Faceted Glass.” She was involved in work on the Great Hall from 2005 throughout 2015. In 2017\, she was involved in the study of Harrison’s other famous dalle de verre facade at the First Presbyterian Church in Stamford\, Connecticut.

SUMMARY:Fall Party: 79th Street Boat Basin
