Opening in 1887 as the New York Cancer Hospital, it was the first of its kind solely dedicated to cancer treatment. Architect Charles Coolidge Haight designed the French Renaissance style hospital to facilitate the most progressive cancer treatment methods of the day. The patient wards were located in the five turret (circular) spaces because it was believed that germs thrived in corners. The Towers Nursing Home moved into the facility in 1956, closing in 1974. Crumbling, and with a negative reputation, the building seemed destined to meet the bulldozer. But preservationists recognized its architectural and historic significance and successfully lobbied the city for landmark status in 1976. Yay! It remained somewhat blighted until the early 2000's when the interior was reconfigured into 17 units. Today we use the building as part of our #kpf program, and particularly #shapedetectives where we work with local kindergarten classes to find shapes in our built and natural environment.

Instagram post 2119868531540771762_529955955 Designated by the Landmarks Preservation Committee in 1984, The Chatsworth Apartments at the foot of Riverside Park on West 72nd Street is an exceptionally handsome apartment building constructed early in the twentieth century as luxury "housekeeping apartments" for an affluent clientele. Designed by architect John E Scharsmith in the Beaux-Arts style it features exuberant French-inspired classical and Beaux-Arts detailing. Whilst currently undergoing restoration the entry is still looking glorious!

Instagram post 2076292244780289225_529955955 In the final session of our #neighborhoodpoetry program, students work together to create their own poems from observations their classmates made in our previous outdoor session. Their creativity and commitment to the task always impresses us.
Instagram post 2076290698684244926_529955955 Many of our schools finished the year with our #neighborhoodpoetry program where we observe and use sensory descriptions about an outdoor space, before creating our own poetry as a group as a follow up activity. This picture is taken in the beautiful Dr Pepe Reading Garden at the front of #ps163 on West 97th Street. It turned out to be a beautiful day and the students wrote about the flowers in bloom, the textures in the garden, and the bugs!!
