One correction however,<br />The name of the building has always been The Bryant Park Studios, however for some time there was a famous<br />Restaurant/Bar on the Ground Floor and the Basement called the Beaux Arts Cafe, of course named after the <br />French Architectural style of the building, for a while the building was referred to as The Beaux Arts Building<br />as a result of this.<br />Over the last 15 years we have made great progress restoring as much of the property as able, the North East<br />ground floor corner must still be done. In 2008 we uncovered an original 10 x 15 Tiffany's Skylight on the Roof and<br />had it restored. The abalone shells and Crystal Fireplace in the Penthouse West suite have all survived and are in <br />fine shape. The Building is actually 10 floors, but has double height ceilings from the 6th floor up.<br />As more glass skyscrapers rise around us each year, we find it makes Bryant Park Studios all the more glorious.<br /><br />Dave Seeve<br /><br />DSeeve@MountainDevelopment.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-21528521395182921492012-11-01T05:03:34.631-07:002012-11-01T05:03:34.631-07:00The ziggurat in the background of the 2nd-to-last ...The ziggurat in the background of the 2nd-to-last photo looks worthy of a post of its own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-30553208374078005962012-10-28T10:40:40.497-07:002012-10-28T10:40:40.497-07:00Tbat's a great story! thanks for sharingTbat's a great story! thanks for sharingTom Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13542224816886418433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-85549395117079221212012-10-27T19:59:45.217-07:002012-10-27T19:59:45.217-07:00My uncle, architect J.

My family spent a night in his office's apartment about the middle of that period. He was a people watcher. Standing out on his balcony one day he looked down and wondered why a crowd was gathering below and looking up. Realized later they were waiting for him to Jump. He didn't.David Minorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821209432828013492noreply@blogger.com
