Chelsea Art Deco

With Matt Postal

[In-person tour] Many unsung Art Deco delights are found in Chelsea. From works by Ely Jacques Kahn to Horace Ginsbern, this midtown neighborhood has something for everyone, including apartments houses, loft buildings, and even a stylish automobile garage. Highlights of this tour with architecture historian Matt Postal include the High School of Fashion Industries, a former telephone switching station (now luxury apartments) built for the New York Telephone Company, and Ralph Walker’s monumental Salvation Army Centennial Memorial Temple.

In-person tours are limited to 25 attendees and are held outdoors.  Walking tours bring individuals into close proximity with each other, we therefore recommend that all tour goers wear masks during the tours, regardless of vaccination status.  Your tour guide and your fellow tour participants will thank you for your cooperation.  Should the tours happen to venture indoors, many places require masks and/or proof of vaccination, so please be prepared to have both with you.

MAS Walking Tours last approximately 2 hours. Meeting location is provided with registration.
