Revisiting Ada Louise Huxtable’s Walking Tours of Modern Architecture

This tour, with John Arbuckle, will celebrate the seminal architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable (1921-2013). Her pocket guide Four Walking Tours of Modern Architecture in New York City was jointly published by the Municipal Art Society and the Museum of Modern Art in 1961. During this tour, you’ll visit Philip Johnson’s Rockefeller Guest House, two of the city’s earliest Modern townhouses including the home and studio of William Lescaze, the recently restored United Nations Headquarters, and some less known Modern gems.
