A Trip Through The Tenement Museum In New York City

STICK IT ""INSIDE"" YOUR YOU KNOW WHAT !

God bless nyc!! Made up of amazing people.

So looking forward to visiting this Tennament museum in New York next year ❤❤❤

National treasure. Enjoyed thoroughly. I never knew that this history was reserved in NYC. Thank you.😊

What a waste of a building

This beautiful building is a priceless treasure. ❤️

"KleinES Deutschland", wäre es, eigentlich...

This is the coolest video — what an amazing guide!

I had read of this building. I am curious as to who was responsible for the property from its condemnation in 1935 to its discovery in 1988. Who owned it? Who paid property taxes and maintained the building? How did it escape being torn down with the rest of the buildings that were once there?

Thanks . Very interesting

Great tour of the museum. Was a highlight of a trip to NYC in 2010. They also had great books in the gift shop providing more detail of the history of the building and tenants.

All the plaster around the hallway painting was applied by hand using many of the same tools and techniques as a confectioner/ cake decorator, just using plaster instead of sugar icing.

Was this guy even born yet in 1988?

This video is INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much for posting! I hope to visit in person one day!

NYC when you didn't have to have 5 roommates to live in a cramped apartment. I'm sure most New Yorkers miss that. I think it's a safe bet to say they don't like 2 grand a month rent plus maintenance fees 🤔

I am wondering why the building got abandoned after 1935, what happened?

i GOT GO THERE

To think that some of the descendants of these early migrants are now the anti-illegal immigrants in this country.

I love looking back when things where different than keep more vlogs coming out

This is a really great tour but don't forget that the people who lived in those apartments we're not ancient nomads some of their children still remember living in those apartments and they are still alive.

So much respect for immigrants. They faced genuine hardship in America and most somehow still thrived, amazing!

i hate my teacher

I so want to go there.

Love that just love it ,,, the guy showing us around is what this world needs 🙏

Love it.

I went to the Tenement Museum in around 2014. It was fabulous. I highly recommend it.

If only the filming or camera was better!! 😢

If I ever get to go to NYC I want to take a tour. Inshallah

blrddd

In 2020, Tuburchular windows wouldnt be a bad idea today.

skip king using d's website; my grandparents on both sides were European Jewish immigrants; growing up in hartford county ct, we
would often visit nearby new york city and see my uncle Moshe and it is very fitting, since his apartment(actually built early 1900's)
looked very similar inside,maybe a little bit nicer with its french doors but it still was an old tenement. My mothers parents lived
in a railroad flat in hartford and it too looked like this;in fact i can remember the old wooded stairs, the slanted 2nd story porch
(my folks got nervous whenever i was on it-it wasn't the greatest). One bedroom was in back of the other, with open floor space
for the kitchen and parlour-1908 style, with its dual brass plated push button wall switches and old wiring. Tenements often had
railroad style flats like that one. But even with all of this, there are people who live in shanty towns in underdeveloped nations who
would consider such a place a big improvement over their transience.

I always wanted to see the inside of one of those tenemts

I reside in a San Francisco building which still has mailboxes like the ones shown here ! The boxes are small . Guess there were no catalogues back then. Mail carriers stuff the mail boxes to overflow capacity

Wanted to check out the museum after the mention by Fran Lebowitz. Fascinating .

That tour guide sure is charming - enjoying his talk kept me engaged. Thanks

What a treasure! It’s nothing short of a miracle that it managed to stay a perfectly preserved time capsule. I’ve been wanting to visit ever since I first learned of its existence! My grandmother came to this country, circa 1907 as a little girl & lived in a tenement on E14 st. They were fortunate enough to have indoor plumbing, but shared a bathroom with other tenants. She said her rent was $8.50 per month, the extra fifty cents was because they upgraded to a white countertop (as opposed to, probably butcher block).

Such a passionate tour guide and you don't ask him any interesting questions.

The tour guide was so amazing..but the dude taking the tour really didn't seem all that interested; asking very few rather mundane questions : ie: " why is that window inside the house?" I wasn't even born till the 60s & I even knew they were transome windows. He just didn't seem interested. I saw so many things I would have asked the tour guide: " when were the mailboxes put in?" " what was that tiny enclosed room used for?" ( the one right beside the mailboxes) " where did the ladies babies sleep when they were tiny babies?" I would have wanted to know what the weirdest artifact was that they found while renovating. The building is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for this glimpse back in time. ❤🏢🏢

I really want to visit this place. The conditions these people lived in are heartbreaking but I'm glad that some of these places have been preserved so we can understand our predecessors' struggles

Fascinating look back in time. Who came,why,what happened to them on their journey? Stumbling around Google Earth brought me here.

Looks like your showing an old worn out apartment for an exorbitant amount of rent.

I couldn't stick around long because of the low volume narration, which is integral to the program.

This is where both sides of my family my ancestors came from 🇮🇪 Ireland and Italy 🇮🇹

How much was rent back in those days my grandparents paid $50 for a 3 bdrm apt in Rockaway queens in 1960

AMERICA IS THE LAND OF IMMIGRANTS. GOOD.
SOME CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN OTHERS.
WHO BUILT THE ROADS, THE BRIDGES AND THE SCHOOLS?
WHO TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOLS?
ASK YOURSELF THAT QUESTION?
SOME GROUPS DO NONE OF THESE THINGS AND ACT LIKE THEY BUILT THE COUNTRY.

Little Germany in Manhattan suffered a terrible blow in 1904 when around 1,400 people, majority women and children, mostly from St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in the neighborhood, boarded the General Slocum sidewheel passenger steamboat for the annual church picnic. The ship caught fire while sailing up the East River. Over 1,000 people died, the greatest loss of life in a single day in NY history until 9/11. This tragedy ripped apart the social fabric Kleindeutchland because so many people of the area died and a lot of survivors moved away.

I enjoyed the video, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my favorite books, I’ve never been anywhere near a tenement
& had to use my imagination when reading the novel (although Betty Smith described everything with such incredible detail), it’s nice to see what an actual tenement looked like.

The filming is terrible. Like I'm on a bad ride. How about a tripod or a Gyroscopic camera. Even the sound is terrible. Do you really need to focus on the host 99% of the time? It's not about him. I see it all the time where the host or creator has there face in the shot 99% of the time. It's boarder line narcist. Terrible terrible.

Thank you so much. This is amazing. Found this by accident
