  • CENTURY ASSOCIATION BUILDING 109-111 East 15Th Street, Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission January 5, 1993, Designation List 248 LP-1763 (FORMER) CENTURY ASSOCIATION BUILDING 109-111 East 15th Street, Manhattan. Built 1869; architects Gambrill & Richardson. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 871, Lot 10. On December 12, 1989, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the (Former) Century Club Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 27). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Thirteen witnesses spoke in favor of designation. A representative of the owner did not take a position regarding the designation and no witnesses spoke in opposition to designation. The hearing was continued on April 3, 1990 (Item No. 22). At that time eight letters were read into the official record, including one letter from the owner, expressing opposition to designation, and seven letters in favor of designation. The Commission has received other letters in favor of designation. Summary The Century Association Building was designed by the firm of Gambrill & Richardson, whose partners were both members of the association and one of whom, Henry Hobson Richardson, went on to become one of this country's most prominent architects. Built in 1869, the building appears to be Manhattan's oldest surviving structure erected as a clubhouse. Its exterior, which remains remarkably intact, heralded a wave of neo-Grec buildings in the early 1870s. The Century Association, founded in 1847 to promote interest in literature and the arts, attracted authors, artists, and amateurs of letters and the fine arts, many of whom were national leaders in their fields.

  • 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.

Carlina Rivera, City Councilmember, 2nd District 254 East 4th Street New York, NY 10009 RE: Support for landmark designation of proposed historic district South of Union Square Dear Chair Carroll, Mayor de Blasio, and Councilmember Rivera, As the author of Monitoring the Movies: The Fight over Film Censorship in Early Twentieth-Century Urban America, I am writing to express my strong support for the effort by Village Preservation to secure landmark status for 80 Fifth Avenue as part of a historic district designation for the area. This 1908 Renaissance Revival-style office building at 80 Fifth Avenue was the home of the Motion Picture Patents Company (MPPC) from 1909 until its dissolution in 1917. MPCC and 80 Fifth Avenue are a critical part of the incredibly important early history of the film industry to be found in the area south of Union Square. University of Massachusetts • 161 President’s Drive • Amherst, MA 01003 • 413.545.1330 • www.umass.edu/history The MPPC was a trust of the 16 major American film companies headed by Thomas Edison in the early 20th century. The trust came about as a result of Edison’s desire to have a monopoly over the industry. The MPPC was instrumental in changing the advertising tactics for the film industry.
