Dedication of GVSHP Historic Plaque at Westbeth

Join GVSHP to unveil an historic plaque marking the Westbeth Artist’s Housing complex in Greenwich Village. This unique complex of buildings served as the home of Bell Telephone Labs, where many technological innovations were developed or advanced, including radar, television and video telephones. The complex re-opened in 1970 as Westbeth, an early example of large-scale adaptive re-use of an industrial building.

Featured Speakers include:
Andrew Berman Executive Director of GVSHP
Patricia Jones Interim Executive Director of Westbeth
Nancy Gabor VP of Westbeth Artists Residents Council
Joan Davidson President Emeritus of J M Kaplan Fund
Domhnaill Hernon – Nokia Bell Labs

A Reception follows in the Westbeth Lobby
