  • LONGACRE THEATER, 220-228 West 48Th Street , Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission December 8, 1987; Designation List 197 LP-1348 LONGACRE THEATER, 220-228 West 48th Street , Manhattan. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1019, Lot 50. Built 1912-13; architect, Henry B. Herts. On June 14 and 15, 1982 , the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a pub 1 ic hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Longacre Theater and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No.44). The hearing was continued to October 19, 1982. Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Eighty witnesses spoke or had statements read into the record in favor of designation. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The owner, with his representatives, appeared at the hearing, and indicated that he had not formulated an opinion regarding designation. The Commission has received many letters and other expressions of support in favor of this designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Longacre Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Constructed in 1912-13, the Longacre was built to house the productions of Broadway producer and baseball magnate Harry H. Frazee . Designed for Frazee by Henry Herts, prominent theater architect, the Longacre is among the earliest surviving Broadway theaters, and has an exceptionally handsome facade. Like most Broadway playhouses built before World War I, the Longacre was designed by a leading theater architect to house the offices and theatrical productions of its owner. Though known as a baseball magnate, and at one time the owner of the Boston Red Sox, Frazee was also an influential Broadway producer who, besides building the Longacre theater, at one time also owned two other Broadway houses (the Harris and the Lyric).

  • Honor Roll of Donors
    Children’s Hospital Los Angeles HONOR ROLL OF DONORS For the time period of July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016 At the turn of the 20th century, a group of caring individuals recognized that the city of Los Angeles lacked a hospital equipped to care for children—and so began Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Founded in 1901, the hospital was created with the strength and resolve of its founding members—a legacy that continues on through a generous community of supporters and philanthropic partners. More than a century later, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is proudly recognized as a worldwide leader in pediatric and adolescent health. Through expert clinical care, research and medical education, Children’s Hospital continues to create hope and build healthier futures for children and families in our community and beyond. Generous individuals, organizations and foundations have played an instrumental role in our efforts to give children the opportunity to lead healthy and happy lives. Philanthropy has supported the important work performed by our physicians, nurses and caregivers; accelerated leading-edge research to unearth innovative new therapies; and educated and trained the next generation of pediatric experts. Our extraordinary donors make all of this possible, and we are honored to acknowledge them for their generosity during fiscal year 2016. This Honor Roll recognizes donors for contributions of $1,000 or more, as well as the full value of any active pledge commitments made in prior fiscal years. We are also proud to honor those who have contributed gifts of $150 to $999 on the Red Wagon Society Honor Roll of Donors, viewable at CHLA.org/HonorRoll.
