Tenement Fire Escape Ornament

4″ Laser cut metal ornament

Designed in New York City, Made in New Jersey

This delicate ornament pays homage to the New York City fire escape, a lifeline to our neighbors in a city where very few have access to outdoor space. Just as they connected generations of immigrant families who settled on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the fire escape gives many an opportunity to connect with each other and the world amid a pandemic, whether it’s just a chance to get some fresh air or to clap for our essential workers at 7PM.

The Tenement Museum welcomes you into the homes of immigrants, migrants, and refugees and shares their stories to inspire connections between past and present and to build an inclusive and expansive American identity.
