  • Landmarks Preservation Commission November 18, 2008, Designation List 407 LP-2247 GUARDIAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY of AMERICA
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 18, 2008, Designation List 407 LP-2247 GUARDIAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA ANNEX, 105 EAST 17TH STREET, (aka 105–117 East 17th Street and 108–116 East 18th Street), Manhattan. Built 1959–63; Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, architects; Roger Radford, designer. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 873, Lot 10. On April 10, 2007, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the former Guardian Life Insurance Company of America Annex and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 13). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Eleven people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of State Senator Tom Duane, Community Board No. 5, DoCoMoMO, Gramercy Park Neighbors, Historic District Council, Modern Architecture Working Group, Municipal Art Society, and Union Square Community Coalition. A representative of the owner expressed no opposition to designation. The Commission has also received numerous letters in support of designation. Summary The Guardian Life Insurance Company Annex is a rare example of a low-rise office building in Manhattan shaped by the aesthetics of 20th Century European Modernism, frequently called the International Style. Four stories tall, it was designed in the New York City office of the architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and features a crisp curtain wall of anodized aluminum spandrel panels and tinted glass. Work on the project began in 1959 and construction was completed in 1963. Though Guardian Life contemplated moving during the 1950s, objections from community groups in Westchester County and staff persuaded the company to remain in Manhattan and erect an annex of substantial dimensions directly east of the company’s 1911 neo- classical-style headquarters.

  • THE BANK of the METROPOLIS, 31 Union Square West A/K/A 19-23 East 16Th Street, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 12,1988; Designation List 206 LP-1537 THE BANK OF THE METROPOLIS, 31 Union Square West a/k/a 19-23 East 16th Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1902-1903; architect, Bruce Price; builder, George Fuller Company. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 844, Lot 17. On May 14, 1985, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Bank of the Metropolis (Item No. 3). The hearing was continued to September 17, 1985 (Item No. 1). Both hearings had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Forty-two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. One witness took no position. The Commission received several letters in support of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary A limestone-faced bank and office tower, the Bank of the Metropolis, a columnar tripartite skyscraper, is a representative example of the major New York architect Bruce Price's neo­ Renaissance commercial architecture. The design incorporates classical elements which were traditionally associated with American bank architecture. Notable features include the bowed two-story portico with monumental polished granite columns, lions' heads, consoles, foliated spandrels and spandrels with open-mouthed lions. Built in 1902-1903, 1 the bank occupies a commanding corner location on Union Square West and demonstrates the arch~tect's ability to adapt a building to both the requirements of function and the dictates of site. Created to serve the needs of businesses on the square, the bank had members of the local business community on its board of directors.

  • THE UNION BUILDING (FORMER DECKER BUILDING) , 3 3 Union Square West, Borough of Manhattan
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 12, 1988; Designation List 206 LP-1538 THE UNION BUILDING (FORMER DECKER BUILDING) , 3 3 Union Square West, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1892-93; architect, John Edelmann. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 844, Lot 19. On May 14, 1985, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Union Building (Item No. 4). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Thirty-four witnesses spoke in favor of designation; one statement supporting designation was also submitted. The Commission received several letters in support of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary An important example of the Moorish style (with Venetian touches) , with a profusion of terra-cotta embellishment that enlivens and adds variety to the facade, the Union Building (originally known as the Decker Building) testifies to the interaction between New York and Chicago architects. Convincingly attributed to John H. Edelmann, mentor and friend to Chicago architect Louis Sullivan, the Decker Building was designed by Edelmann while employed by New York architect Alfred Zucker. Edelmann's most significant extant work, the building, located on Union Square West and built in 1892-93, originally housed the Decker Piano Company, one of many firms devoted to artistic enterprises that were once centered around the square. The Development of Union Sguare The Commissioners Map of 1807-11, which first laid out the grid plan of Manhattan above Houston Street, allowed for certain existing thoroughfares to retain their original configuration. Bloomingdale Road (now Br oadway), and the Bowery intersected at 16th Street.

  • Landmarks Preservation Commission October 13, 2009, Designation List 419 LP-2363 S. JARMULOWSKY BANK BUILDING, 54 Canal Street
    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 13, 2009, Designation List 419 LP-2363 S. JARMULOWSKY BANK BUILDING, 54 Canal Street (aka 54-58 Canal Street, 5-9 Orchard Street), Borough of Manhattan. Built 1911-12; Rouse & Goldstone, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 294, Lot 8. On June 23, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the S. Jarmulowsky Bank Building (Item No. 17). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Five witnesses spoke in favor of the building’s designation, including a representative of Council Member Alan J. Gerson; Joyce Mendelsohn, author of The Lower East Side Remembered and Revisited; and representatives of the Bowery Alliance of Neighbors, the Historic Districts Council, and the Museum at Eldridge Street. Two representatives of the building’s owner also testified, stating that the owner had no objection to its designation. Summary Called “the first strictly high-class tall bank and office building” on the Lower East Side, with a design “equal in every respect [to] the highest grade banking buildings throughout the city,” the S. Jarmulowsky Bank Building was completed in 1912 as the architectural showpiece of one of the neighborhood’s most prominent bankers. Born in 1841 in what was then the Russian province of Lomza, its owner, Sender Jarmulowsky, established his business on the Lower East Side in 1873 and was operating at this location by 1878. Known for his honesty and conservative financial approach, Jarmulowsky grew wealthy over the following three decades providing steamship tickets and banking services to the immigrants of the surrounding neighborhood, which was unrivaled as the world’s largest Jewish community.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 6,1988; Designation List 209 LP-1540 THE EVERETT BUILDING, 45 East 17th Street a/k/a 200-218 Park Avenue South, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1908; architect, Goldwin Starrett & Van Vleck; builder, George A. Fuller Co. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 846, Lot 33. On May 14, 1985, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Everett Building (Item No. 6). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Thirty-four witnesses spoke in favor of designation; one witness spoke in opposition and one statement in opposition was read. The Commission received several letters in support of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary The Everett Building is a sixteen-story commercial structure located on the northwest corner of East 17th Street and Park Avenue South. Named for Union Square's nineteenth-century Everett Hotel, and built in 1908 for the Everett Investing Company, it was designed by Goldwin Starrett & Van Vleck, a firm known for its commercial architecture. It is a quintessential example of a building type defined by A. c. David (writing in Architectural Record in 1910): functional, fireproof, speedy to construct, while also demonstrating a concern for "architectural decency; 11 as such, this building is a uniquely American architectural expression. In its design, the Everett Building synthesizes classical elements with key aspects of both the New York and the Chicago styles; Goldwin Starrett was familiar with the Chicago style as a result of his years in Daniel Burnham's Chicago off ice.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission October 18, 1988, Designation List 210 LP-1556 KNICKERBOCKER HOTEL, 1462-14 70 Broadway, Borough of Manhattan, Annex 143 West 41st Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1902; architects Marvin & Davis with Bruce Price as consulting architect. Completed in 1906; architects Trowbridge & Livingston. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 994 Lot 54.

The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Five witnesses spoke in favor of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary The Knickerbocker Hotel is one of the very few grand hotels in the Beaux-Arts style surviving in the Times Square area. Designed in 1901 by the firm of Marvin & Davis with the well­ known Bruce Price as consulting architect, the building was financed by John Jacob Astor, the fourth namesake of the patriarch of one of America's richest families. It is executed in red brick, richly ornamented with French Renaissance detail, and crowned by a prominent copper mansard roof with corner pavilions and cresting. The Knickerbocker was one of several New York hotels built by the Astor family in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Near Times Square in the heart of the theater district, it was advertised as a "Fifth Avenue Hotel at Broadway Prices"; intended to attract not only guests in residence, but also theater-goers and other visitors, its large restaurants and bar-rooms were elaborately decorated, featuring electrified fountains, and murals by noted artists such as Maxfield Parrish and Frederic Remington.
