United States Post Office (Madison Square Station)

The United States Post Office Madison Square Station is a historic post office building located at 149 East 23rd Street between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue on the East Side of Manhattan, New York City. It was designed by architect Lorimer Rich and was completed in 1937. The post office was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 11, 1989 History The United States Post Office Madison Square Station is located at 149 East 23rd Street, between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue on the East Side of Manhattan, New York City. In spite of the building's name, it is not located on Madison Square but about three blocks east (approximately 1/4 mile) along 23rd Street. The building runs through the block to East 24th Street, where there are loading docks and another much smaller and less formal public entrance. In the mid-1930s, the post office was included as part of a plan to have Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn designated as the eastern terminus of air mail, forming a link in the delivery of mail to the General Post Office through its connection to the pneumatic mail tube system. The plan involved using flying boats to transport mail from Floyd Bennett Field to a new seaplane base on East 23rd Street that was being constructed nearby. The Madison Square Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. In 2025, the Historic Districts Council, in partnership with the Rose Hill/Kips Bay Coalition, requested the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission evaluate the building for potential designation as an individual landmark and an interior landmark. Architecture The building was constructed in 1937, and was designed by Lorimer Rich for Louis A. Simon, the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. It is a two to three story building clad on its main facade with polished "Dakota Mahogany" granite in the Classical Revival style. The main facade features six two-story Doric order piers and pilaster that surround the recessed entrance bays. The exterior also features five bronze relief sculptures by artists Edmond Amateis and Louis Slobodkin illustrating different forms of communication: from west to east, the god Mercury, jungle drums, mail, carrier pigeon, and smoke signals. The interior features eight murals executed between 1937 and 1939 by artist Kindred McLeary.

Maidstone Club

The Maidstone Club is a private country club on the Atlantic Ocean in the village of East Hampton, New York. Maidstone has both an 18-hole and nine-hole private golf course. The architect of the golf course's club house was Roger Bullard. History The club derives its name from the original name for East Hampton, which was Maidstone, named after Maidstone in England. It was founded as a 7-hole course in 1894 and expanded to 18 holes in 1899. The club was the summer retreat of New York City’s most wealthy and socially connected families. Maidstone is considered to be among the five most elite, prestigious and difficult to get into among private clubs in the Hamptons, alongside the Bathing Corporation of Southampton, the Meadow Club, the National Golf Links of America and the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. Jews were not admitted as members until the late 1970s. Through the 1990s and early 2000s, journalists reported that there were no Black members. Several notable people have inquired about membership over the years and were summarily prevented from joining the club. In the 1950s, Groucho Marx was able to play as a member guest but was turned down as a potential member. George Plimpton and Diana Ross were also shunned. Ross was married to billionaire Norwegian shipping magnate Arne Næss, Jr., a member at Maidstone, however he resigned when his wife was denied membership. Donald Trump was a temporary member in the early 1980s, but was turned down as a permanent member. Willie Dunn laid out the first course in 1894; it was but a rudimentary seven-hole layout. Seth Raynor drew up re-design plans in 1921. Then in 1924 Willie Park, Jr. and his brother Jack designed the 80-acre (320,000 m2) Gardiner Peninsula addition. The expansion resulted in the club having two 18-hole courses, but this was reduced to the current 27-hole layout by the hurricane of 1938. Ben Crenshaw performed extensive renovations in 2012. The Parks' routing on the 80 acres on Gardiner’s Peninsula and the remaining 50 acres introduces multiple hazards at various angles, including a marsh, Hook Pond, sand dunes, beach grass, reeds, well-placed bunkers, out of bounds and the ever-present wind. In 2014, Maidstone was ranked #37 in Golf Magazine's "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." list, and #67 in their "Top 100 Courses in the World" list. West Course scorecard Facilities The Maidstone Club features a private beach, pool, tennis house, and club house in addition to the golf course.

Main Building (Vassar College)

The Main Building of Vassar College is the oldest surviving building on its campus in Poughkeepsie, New York, and the center of academic life. It was built by James Renwick Jr. in the Second Empire style in 1861, the second building in the history of what was one of America's first women's colleges. It is one of the earliest, largest, and most important examples of Second Empire architecture in the United States and is a National Historic Landmark for its architecture and educational significance. At the time of its completion, the structure contained the most interior space of any building in the United States, and housed the entire college, including dormitories, libraries, classrooms, and dining halls. Currently, the first and second floors house campus administration while the remaining three (including the second floor wings) house student rooms. Architecture Vassar's Main Building is a large brick building, four stories in height, with a fifth floor under its mansard roof. It is U-shaped, with a central portion 500 feet (150 m) long, and transverse wings 164 feet (50 m) in length projecting forward at the ends of the central section. At the center of the central portion is a projecting pavilion topped by a slate-roofed dome with iron cresting. Most windows are sash, set in openings with either segmented-arch or round-arch tops; the roof is pierced by dormers whose rounded tops have keystones. Window trim and horizontal banding on the building are of bluestone. The building has in significant part been restored to its original appearance. One notable exception is a large turning staircase in the central section, which was removed in 1893 as part of a library expansion that became known as "Uncle Fred's Nose", after Fred Thompson, whose name adorned the annex that was added at that time. That annex was removed in 1959 during the restoration process, but the stairs were not rebuilt. History It was taken over by protesters in 1969 and again in 1990. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986. The Vassar Observatory, the first building built on the Vassar campus, is also a National Historic Landmark.

Main Street School

The Main Street School – also known as the Landmark on Main Street Community Center or simply the Landmark on Main Street – is a community center, retirement home, and historic school building located on Main Street in Port Washington, in Nassau County, New York, United States. Description The school was completed in 1909 in the Georgian Revival style. It was built as a two-story, brick building with stone detailing and a cement-stucco faced raised basement level. A third story was added during a 1917 expansion. It features a steep gable roof topped by an ornamental cupola with four clock faces. The roof has five gable dormers with round-headed windows. History In the early 1900s, citing the need for a purpose-built high school to serve the growing Port Washington community, the Port Washington Union Free School District proposed the erection of a large, new school on Main Street; the district's existing schools were too small to efficiently function as a high school. After a bond measure to construct the Main Street School was subsequently approved by district residents in a vote of 55-to-46, construction on this new school began, with the cornerstone being laid on September 21, 1908. It was ultimately completed the following year, and it was expanded between 1916 and 1917. In 1929, after the district opened a new high school – the present-day Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School – off Port Washington Boulevard (NY 101), the Main Street School was repurposed by the district to serve as an elementary school. In 1985, the Port Washington Union Free School District closed the Main Street School. The property was subsequently acquired by the Town of North Hempstead, which transformed it and the historic school building into senior citizen housing and a large community center – roles which it continues to serve as of 2025. Landmark designations In 1983, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the New York State Register of Historic Places. Two years later, on July 23, 1985, it was listed as a Town of North Hempstead Designated Landmark.

Manhattan Psychiatric Center

The Manhattan Psychiatric Center is a New York-state run psychiatric hospital on Wards Island in New York City. As of 2009, it was licensed for 509 beds, but holds only around 200 patients. The current building is 17 stories tall. The building strongly resembles the main building of the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens. It is adjacent to Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center, a specialized facility for patients with criminal convictions. History The hospital's roots date to 1848 when Wards Island was designated the reception area for immigrants. Some additional structures were originally part of Blackwell's Island Lunatic Asylum, which opened around 1863. The New York City Asylum for the Insane opened in 1863. The building was significantly enlarged in 1871, and a Kirkbride Plan style building was built. After the immigration entry shifted to Ellis Island in 1892, the state took it over from Manhattan in 1899 and expanded it even further, renaming it the Manhattan State Hospital. At the time, it had 4,400 beds and was the largest psychiatric hospital in the world. At the time, it was one of two psychiatric hospitals for residents of Manhattan that had been taken over by the state. The other psychiatric hospital would become the Central Islip Psychiatric Center in Central Islip, New York. Both hospitals were referred to as "Manhattan State Hospital". A fire on February 18, 1923, killed 27 people: 24 patients and three attendants. The current building complex was constructed in 1954. In 1969, Manhattan State Hospital was subdivided into three separate hospitals, Dunlap, Meyer, and Kirby. In 1979, the three facilities were combined to become the Manhattan Psychiatric Center, which became affiliated with New York Medical Center. In 1981, the institution made one of its three buildings available to the Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center, a specialty facility for patients involved with the criminal justice system. The Manhattan Psychiatric Center is run and operated by the New York State Office of Mental Health, and the site is surrounded by Wards Island Park, which is administered by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Notable patients Mabel Boll, "The Queen of Diamonds" died of a stroke at the facility in April 1949 at the age of 54. Ricardo Caputo, Argentine American serial killer, escaped from the hospital in 1974. Martin Hildebrandt, tattoo artist Scott Joplin was hospitalized in late January 1917 for dementia caused by syphilis, and died there two months later on April 1, 1917. Louis Pioggi, gangster Valerie Solanas, Radical feminist, who attempted to assassinate pop artist Andy Warhol, entered Dunlap-Manhattan Psychiatric in 1972 and escaped in 1973. Erno Soto, suspect in the Charlie Chop-off murders of 1972–73. Wilhelm Steinitz, the first undisputed world chess champion, was hospitalized with mental illness possibly caused by syphilis, and died there on August 12, 1900.

Манхэттенский психиатрический центр

Манхэттенский психиатрический центр (англ. Manhattan Psychiatric Center) — психиатрическая больница штата Нью-Йорк на острове Уордс в Нью-Йорке. По состоянию на 2009 год он имел лицензию на 509 коек, но вмещает всего около 200 пациентов. Нынешнее здание имеет 17 этажей. Здание очень напоминает главное здание психиатрического центра Кридмур в Куинсе. Он находится рядом с судебно-психиатрическим центром Кирби, специализированным учреждением для пациентов с судимостью. История История больницы восходит к 1848 году, когда остров Уордс был назначен местом приёма иммигрантов. Некоторые дополнительные постройки изначально были частью приюта для сумасшедших на острове Блэквелл, который открылся примерно в 1863 году. В 1863 году открылся приют для душевнобольных в Нью-Йорке. В 1871 году здание было значительно расширено, и было построено здание в стиле плана Киркбрайда. После того, как местом приёма иммигрантов переместилось на остров Эллис в 1892 году, штат принял его у Манхэттена в 1899 году и расширил центр ещё больше, переименовав в Государственную больницу Манхэттена. В то время в ней было 4400 коек, и это была крупнейшая психиатрическая больница в мире. В то время это была одна из двух психиатрических больниц для жителей Манхэттена, переданных штату. Другая психиатрическая больница станет психиатрическим центром Сентрал-Айслипа в Сентрал-Айслипе, штат Нью-Йорк. Обе больницы назывались «Манхэттенская государственная больница». В результате пожара 18 февраля 1923 года погибло 27 человек: 24 пациента и три представителя обслуживающего персонала. Позже центр стал Манхэттенским психиатрическим центром. Нынешний комплекс зданий был построен в 1954 году. Учреждение находится в ведении Управления психического здоровья штата Нью-Йорк, а территория окружена парком Уордс-Айленд, который находится в ведении Департамента парков и отдыха Нью-Йорка. Известные пациенты Мэйбл Болл, «королева бриллиантов», умерла от инсульта в больнице в апреле 1949 года в возрасте 54 лет. Мартин Хильдебрандт — татуировщик Скотт Джоплин, был госпитализирован в конце января 1917 года из-за слабоумия, вызванного сифилисом, и умер там через два месяца, 1 апреля 1917 года. Луи Пиоджи — гангстер Вильгельм Стейниц, первый абсолютный чемпион мира по шахматам, был госпитализирован с психическим заболеванием, возможно, вызванным сифилисом, и умер там 12 августа 1900 года.

Marble Collegiate Church

Die Marble Collegiate Church ist eine denkmalgeschützte Kirche in Manhattan in New York City, Vereinigte Staaten. Die 1628 gegründete Gemeinde gilt als die älteste protestantische Kirchengemeinde mit ununterbrochener Pfarrei in Nordamerika, sie war zudem die erste Körperschaft in den USA. Sie gehört zwei Konfessionen an – der United Church of Christ und der Reformed Church in America. Lage Die Kirche steht in Midtown Manhattan im Viertel NoMad an der Südwestecke Fifth Avenue und West 29th Street zwischen Madison Square im Süden und dem Empire State Building im Norden. Die Adresse lautet 1 West 29th Street. Benachbarte Wolkenkratzer sind 262 Fifth Avenue (262 m) und 277 Fifth Avenue (205 m). Geschichte Der Kirchenbau wurde 1854 nach Plänen von Samuel A. Warner im neuromanischen Stil mit neugotischen Einflüssen fertiggestellt. Sie ist der Nachfolgebau zweier Vorgängerkirchen, die sich beide in Downtown Manhattan befanden. Man entschied sich für den neuen Standort in Midtown, um der damals rasant wachsenden Stadt Richtung Norden zu folgen. Die Kirche wurde mit aus Hastings-on-Hudson stammenden Marmor verkleidet und hat einen 66 Meter hohen Glockenturm, der von einem vergoldeten Wetterhahn gekrönt ist. Der Innenraum der Kirche besitzt an drei Seiten Galerien, ein detailreiches Interieur mit Buntglasfenstern, zwei davon wurden vom Glaskünstler Louis Comfort Tiffany entworfen, sowie eine neu gestaltete Pfeifenorgel. Die Kirchengemeinde wurde 1628 als Collegiate Reformed Protestant Dutch Church gegründet und war der niederländischen Dutch Reformed Church angeschlossen. Die Bezeichnung „Collegiate“ bezieht sich auf die vier Collegiate-Gemeinden in New York City, die sich bis 1871 die Pfarrer teilten. Seitdem überwachen und verwalten die vier Kirchen mit einer gemeinsamen Verwaltungseinheit ihre Grundstücke und Investitionen. Die Marble Collegiate Church nannte sich zunächst „Fifth Avenue Collegiate Church“ und anschließend „Twenty-ninth Street Church“, bis sie 1906 bei einer Renovierung eine Marmorfassade bekam und so ihren heutigen offiziellen Namen „Marble Collegiate Church“ erhielt. Einer der bekanntesten Pfarrer der Kirche war Norman Vincent Peale, der von 1932 bis 1984 dort wirkte. Die New Yorker Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) erklärte am 11. Januar 1967 die Marble Collegiate Church zu einem Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Am 9. April 1980 wurde die Kirche in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen.
