    Landmarks Preservation Commission January 14, 1992; Designation List 241 LP-1810 GOELET BUILDING (now SWISS CENTER BUILDING), 606-608 Fifth Avenue, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1930-32; architect Victor L.S. Hafner; engineer Edward Hall Faile. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1264, Lot 40. On September 11, 1990, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Goelet Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 10). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There was no opposition to the designation. Four letters have been received supporting the designation. The owner and long-term lessee are not opposed to the designa tion.1 DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary The ten-story Goelet Building at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 49th Street, built in 1930-32, was designed by Victor L. S. Hafner in the Art Deco style but modified to exhibit the supporting skeletal frame devised by the engineering firm of E. H. Faile. The spare horizontality of the lower stories' glazed curtain walls suggest that, stylistically, this building is a transitional monument between the Art Deco and the International Style. The client, Robert Goelet, acting for the Estate of Ogden Goelet, desired a building that would be comparable in architectural merit and prestige to the family mansion it replaced and which would also complement the use -- street level shops and office space above -- and modern appearance of the buildings of the adjacent Rockefeller Center, then under construction.

This includes the failure to include accurate and complete information regarding the historic significance of the projected development sites at 88 East 10th Street and 11 & 13 East 12th Street along with other historic resources in the area, as well as other significant inaccurate data and analysis. As this ULURP moves through the public review process and development pressure increases in this area from the recent Tech Hub upzoning and construction, it is critical that city agencies accurately analyze the potential impact of new construction and identify the considerable historic resources in the area, which is unfortunately largely absent from this document. 88 East 10th Street The EAS identifies 88 East 10th Street as a potential development site which has “no architectural significance.” We disagree with that assessment of this largely intact 1844 Greek Revival house.

For if the facts cited do not explain the resnIts, what facts do? Surely not the destructive ones.. Xor can it be argued that what happened after 1]81 was due solely to the financial leadership of Alexander Hamilton. Xot only were his ideas not to materialize for another decade, but he was then to appear more troly as the spokesman for, rather than as the creator of, a new business element.
