    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.

Is there another company, anywhere in the world, which can pride itself on celebrating its 80th birthday by taking up entirely new challenges, which remains a pioneer even after the kinds of success that would lead many to rest on their laurels? Publicis Groupe is a business still driven by a passion beyond profits, by a common commitment to act, to be open to sharing, to making a wholehearted and innovative contribution to shaping tomorrow’s world. In 2006, we once again benefited from this dynamism. The quality of our results is exceptional, and I would like to congratulate the staff and managers of Publicis Groupe for their continued dedication and enthusiasm. Their unstinting efforts have enabled us to make unprecedented gains and, in less than ten years, to A Message from Elisabeth Badinter capture the fourth place in media and communications and no responsiveness.
