Downtown Terra Cotta Tour

We'll start with the Terra Cotta tableau along the old "Newspaper Row." There, we'll see how the Potter Building revolutionized building design in New York, and how Orlando Potter became the father of New York Terra Cotta. Just a block away, we'll see the how Morse family got inventive with fired earth! Then we'll bask in the glory of the Woolworth Building, and see how Cass Gilbert's great Cathedral of Commerce is the most impressive terra cotta building in the world. From there we'll make our way down broadway checking out how different forms of terra cotta - buildings and decorations - both colorful and monochrome, changed the landscape of New York!
