How to Make a Subway Map with John Tauranac
Hear from an author and map designer who has been creating maps of the NYC subway, officially and unofficially, for over forty years!
The Woolworth Tower Residences, developed by Alchemy Properties, are 32 loft-like condominiums that encompass floors 29 to 58 of the iconic, landmarked Woolworth Building, originally designed by Cass Gilbert in 1913 and once the tallest building in the world. Over a century later, Alchemy Properties paid homage to Frank Woolworth by restoring original details to reflect the building’s glory days—including a $22M restoration of the striking terracotta facade—while simultaneously updating residences with modern-day conveniences. The residences are reimagined with exquisite finishes designed by Thierry Despont, who is known for his work on the restoration of the Statue of Liberty and makeover of the Ritz Paris Hotel and Carlyle Hotel. This Thursday, you can go inside one of the stunning apartments with those involved in the historic conversion on a live virtual tour!

The residence offers cinematic views of the surrounding cityscape and unique sightlines of the building itself. You’ll also get a look inside the suite of amenities, including the Woolworth Pool, originally commissioned by Frank W. Woolworth and reimagined by Thierry Despont, and the residential lobby that features a coffered ceiling that has been skillfully restored and relocated from Frank W. Woolworth’s private office on the 40th floor.
