The Paterno’s: The Immigrant Family that Helped Build Upper Manhattan
- November 9th
- 12 PM ET
- Webinar
- FREE for Insiders
Take a virtual tour around the Upper West and East Sides visiting the nearly 40 Paterno family structures with great-granddaughter of Dr. Charles V. Paterno, Carla Golden
We’ll explore:
- Which was the first Paterno building to showcase a monogram and why
- What effect did brotherly-competition have on the use of multiple monograms per building
- Which family member was the only to employ un-matching monograms
- Which family members combined their initials to make a completely cryptic monogram
- Who thought it would be a good idea to stick his face on his building instead of a monogram?
About the event:
The Paterno family monogrammed most of the apartment houses they built with treasured Manhattan architects Gaetan Ajello and Rosario Candela. Why? Let’s explore that question as we take a virtual tour around the Upper West and East Sides visiting the nearly 40 Paterno family structures that are adorned with various letters of the alphabet. Great-granddaughter of Dr. Charles V. Paterno, Carla Golden, will decode the monograms and share with you her theories on why not all Ajello- and Candela-designed Paterno buildings are embellished with personalized ornamentation. A brief family history and building portfolio overview will initiate our discussion.
