WEEKLY Ws: Four Walking Tours of Modern Architecture in New York City

In 1958 the Municipal Art Society of New York and The Museum of Modern Art jointly sponsored walking tours devoted entirely to modern architecture.  Ada Louise Huxtable prepared four tours covering midtown Manhattan.  A small pocket book titled “Four Walking Tours of Modern Architecture in New York City” based on her mimeographed handouts was published in 1961.  This week we’ll share excerpts from this amazing little book.
