Architect Breaks Down 200 Years of NYC Mansions | Walking Tour | Architectural Digest

[@JasonCryer]

I love this guy. Expert knowledge, but understandable and unpretentious. Please keep making videos with him.

[@suzikatlin5490]

Totally agree!!

[@julie5310]

Agreed!

[@jencorde]

AD- the people need more historical walking tours with Mr. Wyetzner, please & thank youuuu!

[@jengirl2]

I love these historical tours so much. More? YES PLEASE!!

[@charlestessier4973]

This is clearly my favorite content on this channel, I love these architectural tours.

[@mkhanman12345]

I'm going to watch some content

[@marklerfald]

Well done! Yes, more NYC walking tours, please…

[@janusconner3710]

Ikr❤😊

[@tatianaes3354]

The NY theme is beaten to death. They better move to Europe and cover cities there, instead. Especially since almost every architecture piece of note in NY is inspired by the European architecture.

[@vincentgoupil180]

​@@tatianaes3354 So, you're to blame for Modern Architecture

[@nurlandroid]

Absolutely agree

[@julie5310]

Agreed!

[@Dayvit78]

This guy never fails to deliver. I'm not a big fan of modernism, but I really appreciate showcasing the variety of buildings in NYC. Thank you!

[@civlyzed]

I always enjoy watching Mr. Wyetzner's videos.

[@EdDunkle]

If you haven't already done it, I'd love to see a history of NY industrial loft spaces. I remember seeing some amazing, hardscrabble spaces in Dumbo which I think were being squatted at. Now all the lofts are crazy expensive, but back in the 1970's and '80's you could get vast spaces for cheap.

[@bennettzug]

they’ve been over it briefly, maybe in the one about apartment styles?

[@serafinacosta7118]

Bloomberg published a series on it. It’s posted out there . Something about iconic global houses . The NYC loft was one of the first in the series.

[@seattlebeard]

Google: "How the New York Loft Reclaimed Industrial Grit as Urban Luxury"

[@lauramiller3423]

I lived in New York for a time and have visited on many occasions and I feel like these architecture videos are opening my eyes to things I was always blind to or never took the time to appreciate. I absolutely love learning the history of the city in this way.

[@dcoughla681]

This is fascinating. Please make it a series! I would love for Mr Wyetzner to do a tour of Art Deco buildings as this style is synonymous with New York.

[@jarredschwandner4115]

He's a great presenter and such interesting topics. Lovely to watch and learn more about New York

[@fatoye]

"There are four chimneys, two of which are actually fake, place there just for symmetry's sake." BARS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tula1433]

😂

[@user-hp1sr8jk3w]

I love the history of architecture. I hope you will provide more of this type of program on the channel. I would enjoy seeing other cities too.

[@dingdongrocket]

AD - thank you for funding Wyetzner and crew. They may not garner the amount of views as other AD videos but these have much more significance. Don't stop this style of production. I also like the humble film making style not to many bells and whistle's, when the content is the main focus you dont need that fancy stuff. Theres a lot to digest (pardon the pun) in these videos so slow the pacing a bit so the info can be absorbed.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

Architectural Digest really giving us special content not just about architectures but anything connected to it. 🥰🥰 We appreciate it so much. 💖💖

[@rhondahaydock946]

I’d love to see more of this! It’s so interesting! Thank you!

[@MariaVosa]

I'd love to see these kind of walking tours of other US cities as well!

[@veroniqueblais5858]

WoW AD! What a awesome Holiday gift to give us a walking tour with the great Mr. Wyetzner 😍 thank you!

[@MsSherryjh]

Walking around NYC and really looking at the architecture is one of the best things about being able to visit!

[@analago9245]

what a great narration... if only guiding tours had this kind of quality, helping you understand what you see in broader historical and artistic context! please continue!!!

[@kittykat490]

I love these NYC architecture videos so much and always get so excited when I see a new one!!

[@Baddy67110]

Amazing tour, I really love the architect presenting, he's an amazing communicator !

[@SpaceBearEngineer]

That modernist architecture was so futuristic that a person born 8 DECADES later couldn't easily tell it wasn't contemporary. I hope someone today is designing something so futuristic that people in the 2100s think it was built in the 2090s. Also the 27 floor level 3 story penthouse is basically the answer to "what if a building was made entirely of trip hazards".

[@Wasev]

Modernist architecture is ugly

[@historicvisions1122]

I love all of your videos, Mr. Wyetzner! I would love to see some of the mansions built between 1889 and 1935, and between 1935 and 1982. Modernism has become more fashionable in the past 20 years so I understand your desire to skip some of the other architectural styles NYC is known for. We need all the favorable opinions of Modernist architecture as possible so we continue being able to enjoy them in person! As an architectural historian, I really enjoy your walking tours and breakdowns of different styles. I hate to point out an error in one of the text boxes on screen when each mansion's style and build date is shown but also hate to have incorrect information out there. The Kramer House was built in 1935; however, the text box says 1918. If Architectural Digest decides to expand these walking tours to different cities, I'm available for San Diego!!

[@EllaMoranMakeup]

love these series! more, more, more! i lived in a few 18th century brownstones in Manhattan and always wanted to find more history behind each one!

[@alexmic8278]

Bravo! This one of the all time best video I've seen on explaining patterns and the story behind what's happening behind it. Thank you so much for uploading this content.

[@alexmic8278]

I love binary trading but I don't have a profitable strategies and signals

[@hueyahumana]

14:07 More city mansions, please!

[@dollysprint8923]

Fantastic video, as always. Very sad to see how rundown the Burr and Hamilton houses are.

[@HomeAtLast501]

This is a superb video --- I encourage AD to do more of these educational/instructional videos, rather than just the house tours.

[@BigSkyJason]

This is by far the best recurring thing on this channel.

[@ianwinkelstern151]

Love these walking tours... Always just wish they were longer!

[@BlueSaphire70]

I loved this! Thank you for posting it, and please may we have more!

[@timward3116]

Great video. Sad to see so much brutal brutalism, though, wedge between nice older buildings. I worked in a massive brutalist state building that was brutally depressing. After awhile, it takes a toll on you emotionally. They lack anything to lift the spirit but their brutalism sits like an anvil on the soul..

[@isaacacosta9678]

This is fantastic!!! Keep it going!

[@rudegirlnycloy]

Love this. Would be great to see the interiors of these homes too.

[@atomicwedgie8176]

That's called breaking and entering, I believe.

[@charliearnold4706]

Some fabulous architecture. I live in the UK and I love visiting National trust houses, some of which are amazing.

[@AkashDasgupta-j6h]

I love these architectural tours SOOO MUCH!!!! Please continue making them!

[@joegordon5117]

Thank you for this, really enjoyed it - living in Edinburgh I'm used to the idea of walking past many centuries-worth of different architecture, but when I think of Manhattan, although I would have thought of Victorian-era townhouses I had no idea some older ones like the Burr and Hamilton ones still survived in modern Manhattan, so that was rather lovely to find out!

[@alexk8599]

Can't express how much I enjoy these NYC architecture videos. More, please!

[@mbyahyaa]

AD is one of the most amazing architecture channel on KZbin.🤩

[@jeffreyonemu1426]

Such a beautiful and multi-faceted city. Love these tours.

[@zl2071]

Your videos are excellent!! You single-handedly have reignited my adoration and fascination for architecture through your videos. Keep making them 😊

[@claudiamann7111]

Great tour. Always love to see more mansions and fabulous walking tours of New York. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@adventureswithwonu4467]

I didn’t know these beautiful locations existed in NYC, happy to be moving back soon and discover the city with new eyes

[@jacobbwalters8133]

The architectural tours are my favorite AD- keep it up!

[@jessicaalfieri2158]

This is my favourite series of videos to watch at any given time of the day, thank you

[@mylesrosenthal4922]

I do love all kinds of Architects, and Buildings.😄

[@itsgarrettblake]

I love these videos, every one of them are fascinating!

[@lynnecarter7628]

Fantastic voice. Great content.

[@tracywyman9887]

Excellent tour as always. These are so interesting and informative. More, please.

[@lindabarnes4128]

Fascinating stories of great New York architecture with factual reference. Yes, please more walking tours! If you have anyaccompanying interior photos, that would further enhance the tour.

[@jocelynsmyth6604]

I always love seeing the floorplans - I'm such a floor plan junkie

[@md1264]

Love it! Now if we could get some floor plans, please!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

It’s surprising as to how short the guided age mansions lasted.

[@anthonypopola5773]

True, but they were far more beautiful than the modernist garbage….

[@Pius-XI]

Plenty still stand

[@vincentgoupil180]

There were eight banking panics between 1863 and 1913 including the 1893 Panic that finished the Gilded Age.

[@CB-jz2dn]

What a great classroom 'current'/ historical events' study and field trip for the elementary and junior high students. I attended Andrew Jackson High School in the 60s and would have loved to take a course in New York Archtectural History. Thank you!

[@mdeeaonetwothree5162]

I love this guy. He knows so much and yet is accessible

[@blazisawesome]

Mike is an instant click

[@jacksarrubbo]

Your videos are crafted extremely well and encapsulate tons of knowledge about the topic. I am so glad I found your channel and can learn more about all types of architecture!

[@jeffs8614]

I love the idea of the walking tour - please do more. This guy is great - knowledgable, informative, and easy to listen to. I would love to learn more........thanks,,,,,,

[@Erica-ls7bp]

AD needs to let this guy explain everything architecture to us. Seriously best presentation.

[@smallberries]

Excellent. I love Michael's tours. More please.

[@andthewinneris3953]

Love these video's! And yes I want to see all the NYC mansions and historical buildings! Please let us know which ones we can tour as well.

[@dennyluster3089]

Awesome job with the video content and explanations for those of us who appreciate architecture but don’t have the academic knowledge behind it! Thank you!

[@galaxy_mosaic3587]

really interesting history and analysis. thank you. yes, the mansions and context in art/architecture history are interesting

[@aprilp660]

Would love a video recommending an itinerary for a architecture day tour in NYC

[@ccscomments757]

The problem with those later "row' homes is that the facade is mostly one dimensional. It can never be a full symphony. Granted, the interiors may brilliantly make use of the light and space play, they are still 'one trick ponies'.

[@heatherrblack]

More mansions please 😊 This was great!

[@catherine1057]

Fascinating, thank you. Oh definitely more please

[@SoCalFreelance]

The Bailey Mansion is amazing. And now thanks to this video I know what that roof ornamentation 5:58 is called -- Widow's walk.✨

[@jenniboo9441]

Architecture is so interesting. Its crazy to think about people with no electricity, no automation, no heavy machinery just having to figure things out through trial and error and creating absolutely beautiful structures

[@jj-if6it]

I'm glad he explained the significance of that modernist Kramer house, because I would just have assumed it was some 70s eyesore

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

Great tour. I like the older homes. They are very beautiful and inviting. The modern is ok too. But cold and soulless in many cases.

[@MrEazyE357]

I'm so in love with this series. More please!

[@Bexinbos]

Loved this! Please add more NYC mansions!

[@erincallaghan8348]

Such an interesting insight into NYC mansion houses and their history. Thank you.

[@AnnapolisGirly]

The modernist building is truly amazing. I don’t really love MCM but I love this.

[@diogomp81]

Really neat to finally see some NY modernism portrayed in detail. Thank you.

[@gwitthuhn]

Wow, the Paul Rudolph is incredible!

[@RachelAnn]

Fantastic tour! Would love to see more of the design history of NYC.

[@kevmagill5163]

I would love a tour of 23 Beekman. It has always fascinated me. Love these videos. Learn something new every time.

[@brawnbenson552]

Yes!……….Please keep the excellent content coming!❤

[@stefano3202]

I love walking around NYC and just admiring all the architecture without knowing anything about it. I wish he made a self guided tour with his voice hahahaha

[@gilliansheppard5383]

i love the vibes of this city tour video!

[@BrandonDoyleMN]

Fascinating!

[@sharonaileen5650]

Yes please! More. It’s fascinating!

[@AC-ih7jc]

The next best thing to Barry Lewis'/David Hartman's "A Walk...." series of documentaries. Bravo!

[@kendraw.6999]

Yes, would definitely would like to see more! Great tour.

[@PamZatt]

Very well done, would love to hear more! ❤

[@learnenglishwithdayamudra704]

I adore Michael's videos.

[@joycefroney6162]

Love to see more. I lived there for 33yrs and loved it!

[@mygeorgiaokeeffe]

Exceptionally well done. More, please.

[@donnafuller3029]

I love this!❤ Thank you. More please😊

[@crin28]

Absolutely love these videos. More please!

[@adamhaziqsalleh]

Love videos with Mr Wyetzner. More please

[@AwayGoalRule]

Amazing. Would love to see this same series but in Brooklyn: the Slope, Washington Ave, Ditmas Park, Bklyn Heights etc.

[@kkonabill95]

Yes please keep making more of these

[@nicolem889]

12,000 years. That’s incredible.

[@pamelak.johnson2479]

That was a whole education and a pure delight!

[@_d0ser]

"This is how you know a rich person lives here." Yes, as opposed to all the other poor people that own homes in Manhattan...

[@heinkle1]

Great to see a Lamy Safari fountain pen in use for your sketching

[@Print229]

I'll watch anything with Mr. Wyetzner. :)
