I am writing a novel which includes a character living and working in a small brownstone on upper Madison Avenue, NYC beginning in 1912. Were there low rise brownstones at that time? How far did Madison extend beyond 60th Street? I have been unable to find any information or maps, either about Fifth or Madison Avenues at that time. I know there were mansions constructed during that time near Central Park. Would appreciate f you would send me information via email at alice at alice simpson (one word) dot com.<br /><br />Thank you for whatever information you might provide.<br />alice simpsonhttp://www.alicesimpson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-38649470669041027962013-06-27T02:40:13.050-07:002013-06-27T02:40:13.050-07:00I noticed the thread of Titanic connections, but c...I noticed the thread of Titanic connections, but certainly not so well as you described it.

The Cardeza connection with this house is very important because the Cardeza's Philadelphia mansion was demolished decades ago. By the way, the Cardeza's promenade suite on the Titanic is of note because James Cameron constructed a replica of either that suite (or the other one) for the film Titanic. These suites have connections with other New York Landmarks you have written about as well. Henry Clay Frick reserved one and then cancelled his reservation when his wife broke her ankle. J. P. Morgan also cancelled his reservation on one of these hyper-deluxe suites. Although they did not reserve promenade suites, George and Alfred Vanderbilt also cancelled their reservations on the Titanic. Translation: you now have written about landmarks connected to ALL four of the Titanic's most famous cancellees. By the way, all four men died within seven years after cancelling on the Titanic: Morgan in 1913, George Vanderbilt in 1914, Frick in 1919 and, most notably, Alfred Vanderbilt in the 1915 sinking of the Lusitania. By writing about so many New York landmarks with Titanic connections you are becoming a real Titanic historian! <br /><br />Titanic BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-81292925363384562312013-06-25T20:33:16.506-07:002013-06-25T20:33:16.506-07:00Unless it was a costume party, the photo of mother...Unless it was a costume party, the photo of mother and son Cardeza is unlikely to have been taken on the Titanic as both are dressed in fashions from the late 1890s.
