New York Genealogical and Biographical Society

PPA worked with the board and staff of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society to design the new headquarters for the NYG&B in the historic Bar Building built in 1922. The space was gutted and renovated to incorporate offices, a library, archive, and conference room. PPA’s design reflects the character and atmosphere of NYG&B’s original headquarters and repurposes restored furnishings.
