Building of the Day: Triangle Fire Memorial

The Triangle Fire Memorial honors the victims and legacy of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire—a pivotal event in US and labor history. Its textured, stainless steel “ribbon” on the building where the fire took place extends to the windowsill of the 9th floor, where many of the victims jumped to their death. The names and ages of those 146 victims are cut into this ribbon and mirrored onto a reflective panel.

Please note: this tour is accessible by wheelchair.

Architect: Charles Lauster Architect
Designers: Uri Wegman and Richard Joon Yoo

Meeting location will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the tour.
