Name

The History of Carnegie Hill Lecture with Keith Taillon of KeithYorkCity

Description

Against a rainbow gradient background are 2 photos. One is of Keith Taillon, a light-skinned man with glasses and a brown beard, and the other is a black-and-white photo of the Carnegie Mansion.

In this illustrated talk presented at Cooper Hewitt, historian Keith Taillon will take us through a history of the mansion built by Andrew Carnegie, the current home of the museum, placed within the greater timeline of New York City's rapid growth and transformation during the period known as the Gilded Age (approximately 1870-1910). Why was it built here and when? What was the neighborhood like before Carnegie's arrival?

Please note that the lecture is ticketed separately from the Carnegie Hill Walking Tours occurring on Friday, October 21 and Sunday, October 23. Visit those event pages for walking tour tickets.
