Compare two cast-iron buildings
Start outside the Judd building at 101 Spring Street and continue to the Haughwout Building
Compare the rhythm of columns and window openings from the opposite pavement
This is an exterior architecture walk; a visit inside the Judd building needs separate arrangements
Continue beyond SoHo
Follow the route to Old St Patrick’s Cathedral and finish at the New Museum
These later stops broaden the walk beyond cast-iron façades
To keep the outing focused on SoHo, finish after Haughwout instead of treating every stop as a museum visit

Before the walk

Check hours, tickets and access with each venue. Barriers may change the track and queues may add time. Accessibility has not been surveyed on site
Questions before the walk
Is the New Museum part of the cast-iron district?
The final stop extends the walk into the neighbouring area; it is not another example of cast-iron architecture
Is a visit inside 101 Spring Street included?
No, the Judd Foundation arranges interior visits separately; the street walk covers the exterior
