The Triangle Fire Memorial

Janes Walk

Led By Andi Sosin AND Joel Sosinsky, Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition

Join docents from the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition at the Triangle Fire Memorial to learn about the historic fire and its outcomes. “Reframing the Sky,” the Triangle Memorial is a work of public art, placed on the landmarked site of the infamous 1911 shirtwaist factory fire. The Triangle Memorial honors the 146 victims, and stands to preserve their memory and that of the activists who instituted legal and social systems and safety requirements that since have improved Americans’ lives. Meet at the Triangle Fire Memorial at the intersection of Washington Place and Greene Street in Greenwich Village.
