Join us on Wednesday, April 13 at the Empire State Building for an insider’s tour of the Art Deco lobby and its comprehensive restoration. The tour will present and discuss the results of a restoration master plan that Beyer Blinder Belle Architects developed for the landmarked lobby.

Frank Prial, Associate Partner at Beyer Blinder Belle, will lead us through an examination of the restoration project’s many challenges. By carefully researching and respecting the intent of the building’s original architects, Beyer Blinder Belle took the most famous building of the 20th century back a few steps in order to prepare it for the 21st. Following the tour, members will have a chance to mix and mingle over drinks in WMF’s offices on the 24th floor.
