A perfect building. The architecture is so awesome. Irish Norman Celtic Scottish Welsh and Anglican are the groups of the Royal Crown of England. King Charles III is Irish and related to Hugh O'Neil and Brian Boru. William I was a Norman Celtic. Southern Ireland County Mayo is Norman Anglican since the 1200s plus other southern Ireland counties. Queen Elizabeth II's Dad is a Scottish Celt last name Lyon. President Trump is our smart hero leader. King Charles III and William are good friends and family always welcome.
The tour here was one of the highlights of my trip! Aishling and Matt did a wonderful job with guiding us along this fascinating place packed with Irish American history. I will definitely be back.
Walking past yesterday I was so disappointed at the deplorable state of both flags hanging outside especially our Irish one .It is obviously old,discoloured and frayed ragged at the end!.Disgraceful and disrespectful. Shame on the society.With a building worth multiple millions it's a pity that a few dollars wasn't spent on the flag you're supposed to be proud of and the reason for your existence as a society.
What a gem this is. Exhibitions well organised with stunning content and informative descriptions. The Tiffany lamps are beautiful. I joined a tour with a very knowledgeable guide who gave a good overview so that I could go back and look again at my leisure. The films are well worth a look. Not to be missed!
I only walked past here and never been inside but glad I saw it while exploring this beautiful city of NYC. It's a historical society centre devoted to Irish American history. There's a library inside, wheelchair friendly and recognisable from the street. It's an educational and cultural centre and it's their headquarters in Manhattan. Worth exploring.
