I’d been considering doing a 1920’s New York Project for a long time, wanted to make sure I had the time and resources for a project this big,” Jogi Schultz (yogijo) – “Mr. S” to the folk in his neighbourhood – told me as we emerged from the subway station into the world of New York in the mid-1920s, as modelled by his 1920s New York Project.

As we stood at the roadside, a few cars parked at the kerb, he continued, “New York City has been my favourite city since I was a kid.  There is so much history here, even in the buildings themselves.  And it’s so diverse in what it has to offer.”

I’d first come across the project via Annie Brightstar. Her article was enough to pique my curiosity and encourage me to hop over to take a look – and that encouraged me to contact Jogi to find out more.

The 1920's New York Project, which is intended to be a faithful reconstruction of a section of lower Manhattan around 1926.

The plan is to replicate Lower Manhatten in the 1920s, speakeasies,  street cars,subway, elevated train line and all is the brainchild of 3D designer, Jogi Schultz. Although far from completed the work so far is very impressive and shops and apartments are already occupied.
