My company sorta built that -- or, rather, we purchased the rights to the architect that built it. Two big boxes of all our historical material related to the Williamsburgh Savings Bank and many other banks were annihilated on 9/11, sadly.

That used to be my former housemate's bank. I used to love going there with her because I'd just trip out on the architecture.

Sadly I will definitely not get to all of these.

laurel - do you mean the actual bank on the 1st floor? would make kinda a weird condo. i guess they could chop it up, what with the ceiling being 3 stories high, would be a shame tho. i would make it the lobby or something like that - such a sweet room.

I bet I haven't been in Grant's Tomb since I was ten (right after they interred him).
I think they've scrapped the Gatehouse, Laurel?

Floyd Bennett Field sounds like one of the more value-added picks. are the Grant's Tomb and Wyckoff House tours unique to this weekend?

The 2007 openhousenewyork (OHNY) Weekend Event Guide will be inserted into the New York Times city edition at all newsstands in Queens, Brooklyn and the east side of Manhattan on Wednesday, October 3.
On Friday, September 28, home subscriptions received the OHNY Weekend Event Guide, but, due to circumstances beyond OHNY's control, many newssstands did not receive the New York Times edition with our guide. We are remedying this inconvenience with the October 3 insert, and, as of September 28 through the Weekend, guides are available at any OHNY info centers in Manhattan.
In addition, free guides will also be available during the OHNY Weekend at all OHNY sites and info centers.
Please note that advance reservations for sites and programs has started and all reservation information is in the OHNY Event Guide. OHNY does not take reservations; you must contact the specific site or program directly.

Eh there's not that much I want to do this year, tho I only looked at Bklyn. I'm never going to remember early enough to get into the Gov Island tours or the closed-bits-of-Ellis Island tours or the MTA-substation tours.
Mostly I need a search fxn for the listings that filters out every single design studio or commercial enterprise. Fuck a "Brooklyn artists loft".

felt like a light year in terms of big shiny must-dos or maybe i've just been here long enough that i've seen most of the big-ticket items. also just don't have a passion for 19th century interiors by and large, and that takes up a lot of the calendar. but still a grand resource.

Missed it again, rats. I love this but I like going to the far-flung and less popular sites--Floyd Bennet Field and the Highbridge Water Tower and the Little Red Lighthouse etc etc are standouts from past years. The whole idea of crowds and waiting in lines puts me right off.
