I’d be interested in what buildings in New York City are Nick’s favorites and why. This is my favorite series!

@nicholaspotts8728

Favorites are hard and too numerous to count! But I always find myself going back to: (a) the Seagram Building on Park Avenue between E. 52nd and 53rd... for so, so many reasons (including its materials, its patronage/Phyllis Lambert's willing it into being, and the peculiarity that the first 20 feet of the interior ceilings are part of its Landmarks designation), (b) the Woolworth Building on Broadway @ Park Place for its optimism about what skyscrapers could be (c) Grand Central for how it works in section to move people effortlessly between sunken train tracks and several levels of streets above in a very tiny footprint, plus some great Guastavino vaulting, and (d) the Veterans' Room in the Park Avenue Armory for the experimental details and textures that its designers, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Candace Wheeler, and Stanford White - thought to put together - yet it all works.

SoHo and all it’s cast iron. Probally one of the best neighborhoods I’ve ever been blessed to see in person. A cast iron street wall, with Belgian block streets. And when it sun hits it right….nothing like it 😍

Nick Potts again just like the last informative video. This guy is the most knowledgeable person on this channel and the reason I'm still subscribed. Keep posting videos with him. I wouldn't mind watching 30 minutes videos of him explaining history of certain buildings. Great work Nick 👏

I agree, nice to slow down a tad though

I wish architecture today, seem as it is mass produced as well, would take a note from the past and be more decorative.

I was today years old when I learned that those SOHO houses I always thought were in stone are actually cast-iron. My life is a lie!😂

I would go up and knock on them when I was 12 years old and that's when I found out it was not made of stone.

Nick Potts seems to have a lot of interesting insights to share. Thanks for letting him come on here.

Love this architecture tour as it includes a good amount of substantial history facts! I've been to NYC so many times but never looked at the city from an architect's perspective. Thanks Nick for this great tour!!!

My favorite place in Manhattan on a sunny summer day. The Elizabeth Street garden is a hidden gem and beautiful place to have a picnic with some Prince St pizza right in the heart of soho

Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant! I could have listened to Mr. Potts for hours and hours!

Very interesting how a new technology for the end of 19th century - cast iron building- was thought as fireproof only to disappoint when tested by actual fires. It's a process with all new technology. And Soho and Flat Iron districts are unique that they were build up very rapidly in a matter of just 2-3 decades in that style. Other cities might just have a few buildings here and there, maybe a port area with these types but NYC has dozens and dozens of streets of them.

Another well explained showing of NYC architecture - as for me, everywhere in NYC is wonderful, I never cease of enjoying and being surrounded by its peerless architecture!

OH GOD YES another video with Nick! Your channel should be solely based on him. Literally I would paid to see him explain every city

First of all it is refreshing to see a building in the iron district that has a black doors with part of the building above white to one side and another side with a rich brick color on the other side. I thought Iron is fire proof so putting an external fireproof coat another paint can go over makes it fire resistant. Very cool, I want to see the inside of this building.

Only in New York kids. I know Robert Moses wanted to plow through Greenwich Village and I think he had Soho on his hit list as well. I think the metal fire escapes are charming, but are they still considered a functional safety feature?

Again, fascinating! I am now going to binge on this series.

I live for this series and Nick Potts

Enjoying the episodes on the neighborhoods of NYC.

I love these buildings! ❤

J'adore NYC!

Interesting tour for this particular part of NYC; a few of the buildings reminded me of decorative iron work facades like some buildings in Barcelona.

I really enjoy these walking tours.

thanks, that was easy to digest

I’d love to go on a walking tour with Nick Potts! And I would have loved to seen these buildings in their original polychrome colors.

Excellent. Very well done. Thanks AD.

It’s only fitting that AD features an Architect breaking down styles by cathegory. And that said Architect is a subject matter expert. The edited flow, the sequency of building styles , the sound track , all fit in perfectly. I know these featured videos take time to put together. I can only hope they keep on finding more topic videos of building’s external views to dissect.

In my hometown of Bolton in the UK we have a indoor market hall, it is a beautiful and giant iron structure, with a neo-classicial exterior, when built in the 1860s it was said to be the largest indoor market in the country. It's an amazing piece of architecture, very airy and bright, worthy of a major city. It's called the Bolton Marketplace or Market Hall.

@@Alex-cw3rz indoor markets aren't rare. There actually are quite a number of them. I looked at Bolton online: beautiful building. But as an indoor market, I don't find it that impressive. There are many indoor markets all over Europe housed in beautiful buildings. We can have different opinions, my original comment was more a joke than anything.

Awesome informative video.

I love those cast iron buildings.

It's pretty amazing what the architects and engineers of the time were able to achieve using cast iron to decorate the facades of these buildings; imitating the stone facades of Renaissance, Italy with some panache. The original polychromatic colour schemes would probably look quite shocking to modern eyes, I imagine.

0:30 look at those single colours 😮

Bring the polychrome back!

I had always wondered if the cast iron was structural or just a curtain wall hung on the front of the building. And if architectural salvage people rescue these old castings for creative reuse, possibly on interiors?

Absolutely fascinating, thank you so much

Highly recommended. SoHo and Greenwich Village are my favorite places to walk due to the history and interesting architecture. The second building he featured - E.V. Haughwout Building - I particularly love. Tons of history with that one including the first passenger elevator; and when it was a department store, Mary Todd Lincoln had White House china painted there.

Pretty much the entirety of SoHo and NoHo have been designated historic districts. However, that being said, the Marxist/socialist element of NYC government, spurred on by former mayor DeBlasio, are currently trying to turn SoHo into an "affordable housing" neighborhood, i.e., The Projects. It seems that these radical leftwingnuts will not stop until they have ruined everything that smacks of Eurocentrism in the name of "social justice."

Delightful!

Thanks for the walk Minor detail: 0:22 at the northeast corner of Broadway and Houston where Elm St. and Baxter converge on the map there's a building labeled *Polizei* (German for Police). Was this due to German Immigrants demographics around that time ?

I’m sure the windows originally opened. What were they made of and what was the design?
