I thank the New York Adventure Club for inviting me back to present three webinars about my ancestors and their architectural legacy. Each webinar has a $10 registration fee which allows you to attend live and/or access the replay for 1 week.
‘The Paterno Family: Chronicling a New York Real Estate Legacy’ Webinar
How did one of Manhattan’s most successful real estate family dynasties of the 1900s happen mostly by accident? And how could it be that almost all of their buildings still stand generations later? Fortunately, a great-granddaughter of the family has meticulously cataloged each of their projects and New York story like never before. From 35th Street to 188th Street between Riverside Drive and East End Avenue, it’s time to explore the real estate legacy of the Paterno family and their significant contribution to New York architecture.

‘The Paterno Castle: Deep Dive into NYC’s Famed Gilded Age Mansion’ Webinar
How did Dr. Charles V. Paterno, a 29-year-old living in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, get the sort of money to build a 4-story marble castle in 1907 overlooking the Hudson River? And what sort of lavish lifestyle did he and his family enjoy during its brief 30 year existence? Using rare documentation, historical maps, and extensive photographic evidence, it’s time to explore one of New York’s premier mansions of the Gilded Age like never before.

‘The Paterno Monograms: Art of Personalizing Apartment Buildings’ Webinar
The Paterno family — one of Manhattan’s most successful real estate family dynasties — fancied monogramming many of their New York apartment houses. Was this insignia simply a marketing tactic or something more? It’s time to explore the fascinating story behind these artworks like never before.
