    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 22, 2016, Designation List 490 LP-2579 YALE CLUB OF NEW YORK CITY 50 Vanderbilt Avenue (aka 49-55 East 44th Street), Manhattan Built 1913-15; architect, James Gamble Rogers Landmark site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1279, Lot 28 On September 13, 2016, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Yale Club of New York City and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Six people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of the Yale Club of New York City, Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer, Historic Districts Council, New York Landmarks Conservancy, and the Municipal Art Society of New York. The Real Estate Board of New York submitted written testimony in opposition to designation. State Senator Brad Hoylman submitted written testimony in support of designation. Summary The Yale Club of New York City is a Renaissance Revival-style skyscraper at the northwest corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and East 44th Street. For more than a century it has played an important role in East Midtown, serving the Yale community and providing a handsome and complementary backdrop to Grand Central Terminal. Constructed on property that was once owned by the New York Central Railroad, it stands directly above two levels of train tracks and platforms. This was the ideal location to build the Yale Club, opposite the new terminal, which serves New Haven, where Yale University is located, and at the east end of “clubhouse row.” The architect was James Gamble Rogers, who graduated from Yale College in 1889 and attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris during the 1890s.

  • The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture NEW YORK, NEW YORK PROJECT OVERVIEW the School’S Entrance Foyer
    The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture NEW YORK, NEW YORK PROJECT OVERVIEW The school’s entrance foyer A BRIEF HISTORY he New York Studio School occupies a group of four mid-nineteenth-century townhouses at 8, 10, 12, and 14 West 8th Street in New York City’s Greenwich Village, each with a carriage house behind it opening Tonto MacDougal Alley. The properties were acquired and combined from 1907 to 1929 by sculptor and art patron Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, the eldest surviving daughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt II (1872–1942), as her salon and an artist studio space for herself and numerous fellow artists. Whitney’s first purchase was the carriage house behind #8 in 1907, a three-story building with a stable below and hayloft above, where she established her personal studio. She bought the townhouse in front of it in 1913, followed by #10 in 1923 and #14 in 1925. In 1929, in order to consolidate the complex into a whole and create the Whitney Museum of American Art, she purchased #12 from sculptor Daniel Chester French. French had first introduced her to 8th Street and maintained his own studio next to hers from 1913 on. The Whitney Museum opened in 1931 and operated at the site until 1954. When Whitney bought the townhouse at #8, she retained architect Grosvenor Atterbury to redesign it and connect it to her carriage-house studio. Atterbury built an enclosed stairway from the third floor of the townhouse to the second floor of the studio in the courtyard between the two buildings, added a copper-clad enclosed balcony to the courtyard wall of the studio, and a large north- facing skylight.

  • The Pamphlet Files 1
    The Pamphlet Files 1 The Pamphlet Files The Pamphlet Files were established as an original resource, part of the Library’s traditional and strong interest in the preservation of ephemera. Some of the material in these files dates back to the late nineteenth century. The Pamphlet Files are often the only record that a gallery or organization existed. They are not catalogued, and there are no references to them in our online catalogue. The files include exhibition brochures, fliers, small exhibition catalogues, gallery announcements, newsletters and other ephemera relating predominately to New York City and state galleries, museums, colleges and universities, professional associations, foundations, non-profit organizations, and other arts organizations. In addition, there are files for one-time arts events and movements, such as “New York State Exposition” and “Art for Peace.” Unless otherwise noted, all files originated from one of the five boroughs of New York City. The list of entries is arranged in alphabetical order; for galleries that have a given name and a surname, i.e. “Martha Jackson Gallery,” the entry will be alphabetized according to the first name.
