SUMMARY:Ladies Mile: Shopping in the Gilded Age
DESCRIPTION:During the Gilded Age\, the Ladies’ Mile was New York City’s retail center. \nBecause of its popularity\, women were able to shop unaccompanied by men for the first time. It was an area where finest objects in America were sold\, from furs and French fashions to jewelry. King’s Handbook of New York City glowingly described the “fascinating\, alluring\, irresistible” shops that lined Broadway\, 14th Street\, and Sixth Avenue. The author demanded to know\, “What are the Parisian boulevards\, or even Regent Street\, to this magnificent panorama of mercantile display?” \nJoin Royal Oak and architectural historian Matt Postal\, for a closer look at the Ladies’ Mile Historic District and the lavish department stores and specialty shops that once flourished here. Starting with A. T. Stewart\, who moved his trend-setting dry goods business to an entire block of Broadway at 10th Street in 1862\, we’ll window shop and shop till we drop\, stopping at masonry and cast-iron structures associated with Tiffany’s\, Macy’s\, Siegel-Cooper\, Lord & Taylor and Stern Brothers — some of America’s first great retailers. \n\nLIVE\nThursday\, April 7 | 4:00 p.m. ET\nOnline via Zoom Meeting\nFREE to ROF members only \nRENT\nFriday\, April 8 to Monday\, April 18 \nRent the recorded lecture to watch at your leisure\nFREE to ROF members only

SUMMARY:Spitalfields: From Huguenots to Hipsters
DESCRIPTION:Brushfield Street\, Spitalfields \nLondon is a city of constant change and nowhere is this better illustrated than in the history of Spitalfields. Formerly the fashionable home of Spanish ambassadors to the English Courts of the 16th and 17th centuries\, its first major development was courtesy of the Huguenots fleeing the religious persecution of Protestants in France in the late 17th century. They laid out a grand estate of well-appointed terraces designed specifically for their trade and “Weaver Town” was born and prospered. \nSpitalfields became the landing point for various waves of 19th century migrants and became one of London’s notorious “rookeries” characterised by overcrowding and poverty. Then came the hipsters. Attracted by relatively cheap rents\, “edgy” bars and restaurants started to move in. Independent retailerssoon followed; former industrial premises were re-purposed as event\, pop-up\, and creative spaces; and the entrepreneurs of the new digital economies moved in. “Hipster Town” was born. \nJoin Mark Rowland to hear the fascinating stories of Spitalfields that tell of hange\, adaptation\, decline and regeneration. \nLIVE\nTuesday\, May 11 | 2:00 p.m. ET\nOnline via Zoom Webinar\n$30 members and $40 non-members \nRENT\nFrom Thursday\, May 12 to Wednesday\, May 18\nRent the recorded lecture to watch at your leisure\n$30 members and $40 non-members

SUMMARY:Isle of Wight—England in Miniature
DESCRIPTION:Take a digital journey around the fabulous Isle of Wight with tour guide Rob Smith. The Isle of Wight is a few miles off the coast of Hampshire but a journey there feels like a step back in time with quaint thatched cottages and country lanes. On this online journey we’ll visit historic Carisbrooke Castle\, the National Trust Gardens at Mottistone\, and Brading’s Roman Villa\, with its wonderful mosaics. \nThe island has such a varied coastline\, it is  like England condensed into one small island. There are the majestic cliffs at the Needles so loved by Tennyson and strangely used in Britain’s space program. And the silent marshes of Newtown where the National Trust looks after the Old Town Hall that was at the heart of a political scandal. We will\, of course call in at Queen Victoria’s favourite vacation spot – Osbourne House. Rob has been visiting the Isle of Wight since childhood and will take you to all his favourite spots. \n\nLIVE\nWednesday\, June 1 | 5:00 p.m. ET\nOnline via Zoom Webinar\n$30 members and $40 non-members \n\nRENT\nFrom Thursday\, June 2 to Thursday\, June 9 \nRent the recorded lecture to watch at your leisure\n$30 members and $40 non-members

SUMMARY:Brooklyn\, NY: Brooklyn Clubs\, A (Mostly) Forgotten History
DESCRIPTION:By the start of the 20th century\, the number of private clubs in Brooklyn rivalled that of Manhattan. From Brooklyn Heights to Bay Ridge\, architectural historian Matt Postal will lead us on an illustrated talk of their evolution and (mostly) overlooked history; including lost\, former\, and still flourishing examples. Brooklyn’s first purpose-built clubhouse — the Hamilton Club (1884)\, by George B. Post\, will be addressed\, as well as the remarkable homes of the Germania and Crescent Athletic clubs\, both by Frank Freeman\, who has been called “Brooklyn’s greatest architect.”  \nJoin Royal Oak as we pay particular attention to the extant structures and when possible their impressive interiors. Such as the former Lincoln Club (Rudolph Daus\, 1889)\, a Queen Anne style gem in Clinton Hill\, the Venetian-Gothic Montauk Club (Francis Kimball\, 1891)\, displaying an extraordinary continuous terra-cotta frieze in Park Slope\, and the Heights Casino (Boring & Tilton\, 1905) in Brooklyn Heights\, boasting the nation’s earliest indoor tennis court. \n\nLIVE\nThursday\, June 9 | 4:00 p.m. ET\nOnline via Zoom Webinar\n$30 members and $40 non-members \n\nRENT\nFrom Friday\, June 10 to Friday\, June 17 \nRent the recorded lecture to watch at your leisure\n$30 members and $40 non-members
