7th annual ohny weekend

[meesalikeu]

next weekend, oct 10th and 11th, 2009 is ohny weekend --- so who's going and to what sites?

FYI -- open house new york is an annual weekend where you can have free admission to architecturally interesting sites you would not normally have access to.

even if you cant make it, the blurbs on the individual sites are interesting:

My studio's work from last term is on display at the Apollo today and tomorrow, on the third floor... my model is a bit messed up though.

I visited the Masonic Lodge on 23rd street. Very interesting tour and tons of amazing plaster work and painting.

I went to the Paul Rudolph house, Spanish, Austrian, and Scandanavian Societies, and the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen. The Paul Rudolph House and the Austrian Center were my favorites.

Foliage and skyscrapers seen from the Spanish Society:
