  • Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947
    Brief Biographies of American Architects Who Died Between 1897 and 1947 Transcribed from the American Art Annual by Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr., Director, Maine Historic Preservation Commission. Between 1897 and 1947 the American Art Annual and its successor volume Who's Who in American Art included brief obituaries of prominent American artists, sculptors, and architects. During this fifty-year period, the lives of more than twelve-hundred architects were summarized in anywhere from a few lines to several paragraphs. Recognizing the reference value of this information, I have carefully made verbatim transcriptions of these biographical notices, substituting full wording for abbreviations to provide for easier reading. After each entry, I have cited the volume in which the notice appeared and its date. The word "photo" after an architect's name indicates that a picture and copy negative of that individual is on file at the Maine Historic Preservation Commission. While the Art Annual and Who's Who contain few photographs of the architects, the Commission has gathered these from many sources and is pleased to make them available to researchers. The full text of these biographies are ordered alphabetically by surname: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y Z For further information, please contact: Earle G.

  • Hotel Martinique, 1260 Broadway, Aka 1260-1268 Broadway, 49-51 West 32Nd Street, and 54- 58 West 33Rd Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission May 5, 1998, Designation List 292 LP-1983 Hotel Martinique, 1260 Broadway, aka 1260-1268 Broadway, 49-51 West 32nd Street, and 54- 58 West 33rd Street, Manhattan. Built 1897-98, 1901-03, 1909-11; architect, Henry J. Hardenbergh. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 834, Lot 11. On February 10, 1998, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Hotel Martinique (Item No. 2) . The hearing was duly advertised according to the provisions of law. There were two speakers in favor of designation and the representative of the owner stated that they were not opposed to designation. Summary The Hotel Martinique, a major work of the prominent designer Henry J. Hardenbergh, was constructed in three phases, in 1897-98, 1901-03, and 1909- 11. Developer William R. H. Martin, who had invested heavily in real estate in this area of the city, built and expanded the hotel in response to the growth of entertainment, shopping, and transportation activities in this busy midtown section. Martin hired the distinguished architect Henry J. Hardenbergh, who had acquired a reputation for his luxury hotel designs, including the original Waldorf and Astoria Hotels, as well as the Plaza. In his hotel and apartment house designs, Hardenbergh created picturesque compositions based on Beaux-Arts precedents, giving special care to interior planning and appointments. For the sixteen-story, French Renaissance­ inspired style Hotel Martinique, the architect capitalized on the openness made possible by Greeley Square, to show off the building's boldly-scaled mansard roof, with its towers, and ornate dormers.

Properties with no Archaeological significance: LPC review of archaeological sensitivity models and historic maps indicates that there is potential for the recovery of remains from 19th Century "Jews Cemetery" on the project site. Accordingly, the Commission recommends that an archaeological documentary study be performed for the bbl 1008087501 to clarify these initial findings and provide the threshold for the next level of review, if such review is necessary (see CEQR Technical Manual 2014). There are no further archeological concerns for the following bbl: 1008080040, 1008090082, 1008090080, 1008090073, 1008090069, 1008090017, 1008090016, 1008090008, 1008090005, 1008090004, 1008090003, 1008090001, 1007830048, 1007830034, 1007830070, 1007830001, 1008060076, 1008060069, 1008060009, 1008060006, 1008060003, 1008060001, 1007800076, 1007800075, 1007800074, 1007800073, 1007800071, 1007800070, 1007800060, 1007800045, Page 1 of 2 1007800036, 1007800026, 1007800019, 1007800017, 1007800015, 1007800013, 1007800010, 1007800009, 1007800007, 1007800006, 1007800005, 1007800002, 1007800001, 1007540063, 1007540051, 1007540044, 1007540041, 1007540040, 1007540039, 1007540038, 1007540037, 1007540036, 1007540035, 1007540034. 7/28/2020 SIGNATURE DATE Gina Santucci, Environmental Review Coordinator File Name: 35043_FSO_DNP_07142020.docx Page 2 of 2 ANDREW M.
