openhousenewyork hosts year-round educational programs celebrating New York City’s built environment, culminating in America’s largest architecture and design event, the Annual openhousenewyork Weekend. And this year, October 10-11, the Church of the Ascension, as one of New York's pre-eminent sites of sacred architecture, will be hosting OHNY tours each afternoon, from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. OHNY volunteers — as well as volunteers from the parish — will be on hand to point out some of Ascension's architectural treasures. For more information about openhousenewyork, visit their Web site.
