Bohemian National Hall Open House New York is known locally, nationally and internationally for its free Annual OHNY Weekend—an unparalleled citywide cultural event in October that showcases hundreds of NYC’s most architecturally and culturally significant spaces and places, many not usually open to the public.
Active in neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs, it opens doors providing unique opportunities to learn about, explore and experience the NYC’s most exciting buildings. The Bohemian National Hall is happy to be a part of this amazing event for the seventh time.
The Bohemian National Hall will open to public within the traditional Open House New York on October 23, 2022. The Czech Center New York, in cooperation with Bohemian Benevolent & Literary Association (BBLA), the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in New York and the Dvořák American Heritage Association (DAHA) will offer guided tours in person through this special historical building.
The tour will take visitors through five floors and the rooftop of this William C. Frohne landmark built in 1896 in the Renaissance Revival Style. Bohemian National Hall was designated New York City landmark by Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1994. Careful restoration of main façade was completed by Czech-American architect Jan Hird Pokorny in 1995. The first phase of renovation began in 2003 based on drawings by Czech-American architect Martin Holub. Interior renovation of unfinished areas, including the ballroom, began according to design of Czech architects Milan Kvíz and Atelier M1 in 2007. Prime Minister of the Czech Republic unveiled fully renovated Bohemian National Hall on October 30, 2008.
The tour will include the Dvořák Room, the exhibition space of the Dvořák American Heritage Association (DAHA) to commemorate the 130th Anniversary of Antonín Dvořák's arrival to the US in September 1892.
