Part of the description posted near the Column of Jerash reads: “King Hussein of the Hachamite Kingdom of Jordan presented this 30 foot-high marble column to the the New York World’s Fair Corporation and the City of New York on the occasion of Jordan’s participation in the New York World’s Fair of 1964-65, held in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park”. The delicate column with modified Corinthian capital, was originally erected in 120 AD by Romans in the ancient Jordanian city of Jerash. It was part of the Temple of Artemis, named for the “principal deity” of the city, then known as Gerasa. It is likely this column is the second oldest man-made object in the City of New York. Do you know the oldest object?

It is one of the only surviving Robert Chanler murals which can be seen in a public space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645812220045-NRVB3FVI66CA7B0B18J5/IMG_7707.jpg Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum The dining room with the original table, was designed by the house architects, Walker & Gillette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645491845589-5O411J5AFYHUYC7YGU50/P5070042c.jpg Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum Some of the stained glass windows came from the Hever Castle, the birthplace of Henry VIII’s second wife, Anne Boleyn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645491856376-CDFF7UQ41KFFHY8TG69Z/P5070045c.jpg Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum The Coe’s selected numerous antiques https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645492130988-OMDDP06HC6R8ZQ121E6D/Coe+Hall+%284%29.JPG Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum Mr. Coe’s stately office / den has a secret bar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645492270499-9CXN6EA2CGDJG4E07WND/IMG_7966c.jpg Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum The tall windows flood the Great Hall with sunlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645492151227-3PSYUUGV4U3LYWT3KSNE/Coe+Hall+%289%29+copy.jpg Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum The house includes impressive collections of furnishings, paintings, and stained glass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645491712644-3IYJ3F14KRRZTE9NLL8Q/IMG_7281.jpg Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum The main staircase https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645846904683-VZRFKJO8M6PH1YK4H386/IMG_6854.jpg Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum Ukrainian-born American artist created numerous iron work details throughout the house including fire screens, railings and light switches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645492005944-VDU8BD56KDEK5M15P6NE/Coe+Hall+500+%2826%29.JPG Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum Radio and bedtime reading on the nightstand https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1645492194436-3JHIYZS5A34GN4MUNVTT/Coe+Hall+%2841%29+copy.jpg Blog - Lavish Gold Coast Estate Turned State Park - Planting Fields Arboretum In 1921, Mrs. Coe’s bedroom was designed by Elsie de Wolfe.

Roger Williams Park The building in the background houses the carousel which was built in 1897 by the Rhode Island factory of Charles I.D. Looff. The original merry-go-round featured carved wooden horses with tails made from real horse hair. In 1937, this was replaced by a Philadelphia Toboggan merry-go-round with 66 hand-carved horses.

This is a portrait of Judge Meldrim’s daughter, Sophie. She married Ted Coy, an All-America fullback at Yale, and moved to New York. After 12 years of marriage they divorced and as a way to support her two sons, Sophie and her friend Nona Park opened Chez Ninon, a private, custom dressmaking salon on Park Ave in New York City. They made authorized Chanel designs from Paris for society's most fashionable women, including Doris Duke and Babe Cushing. Jackie Kennedy was their best customer; she had her own mannequin in the salon so her outfits could be fitted just right. The pink Chanel-designed strawberry 2-piece suit worn by Mrs. Kennedy in Dallas when President Kennedy was assassinated came from Chez Ninon. The pink suit was never cleaned of its bloodstains and has been kept in an acid-free container at the National Archives in Maryland since 1964. In 2003 Caroline Kennedy signed a "deed of gift" specifying that the dress not be displayed until 2103. https://www.getoutnabout.com/blog/from-longshoremen-to-art-connoisseurs-chelsea-ny monthly 0.5 2025-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642518138311-27HJVLSMJ3LJ8WADX2HM/ADB56DBB-AA9A-401E-8965-3FBF731D5B4F.JPG Blog - From Longshoremen to Art Connoisseurs - Chelsea, NY The Empire Diner, with Eduardo Kobra’s Mount Rushmore of Art mural with the likenesses of contemporary artists Frida Kahlo, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, is located on Tenth Avenue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642518165759-CSA00SSQZ1CW7A51RXZJ/2651582A-BC80-4BF0-94F6-CBEDAFBF7481.JPG Blog - From Longshoremen to Art Connoisseurs - Chelsea, NY - Make it stand out The view from the West Side piers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642518245722-6HTYFSKSXF4D4DUUTGKP/IMG_0911.jpg Blog - From Longshoremen to Art Connoisseurs - Chelsea, NY Sunset from a Chelsea rooftop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642518396039-EV8TLBC1P17NW5J0DIK8/8C48B475-5E38-4050-80AA-DED27B60D8A0.JPG Blog - From Longshoremen to Art Connoisseurs - Chelsea, NY Peace sign wreath on 22nd Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642518399894-YCOK4SHVPJFFSR6LH2RJ/7D36FC25-F878-4ED5-8F29-D97C8FC84521.JPG Blog - From Longshoremen to Art Connoisseurs - Chelsea, NY Brownstones https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642518405056-KKI7Q93HXLFWVQBS4RII/1A43A65C-003E-4259-8509-43B1346F496E.JPG Blog - From Longshoremen to Art Connoisseurs - Chelsea, NY Chalk art on the Fashion Institute of Technology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642518409030-HI974NWKP6HEG48L4J57/6D729FE2-27EE-4A9F-8AA3-E3F69D6BBFBB.JPG Blog - From Longshoremen to Art Connoisseurs - Chelsea, NY Art Deco elements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642518427492-48NO5Q7W1RIMQD7X52DL/8F9D4897-A778-44A5-AACA-8FB083A8ADF5.JPG Blog - From Longshoremen to Art Connoisseurs - Chelsea, NY The logo enticed me to go in, but the black and white cookies keep calling me back to Big Booty Bread Company. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642518444754-A00CQ4DDXASR838YECY5/92637DA3-386E-4AB3-885F-0CCDD1BE0DC7.JPG Blog - From Longshoremen to Art Connoisseurs - Chelsea, NY The Chelsea Hotel, completed in 1885 on 23rd Street, was the home to many notable people including Arthur Miller, Stanley Kubrick, Elliott Gould, Jane Fonda, Tennessee Williams, Quentin Crisp, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke.

In 1881, Mr. Weightman decided he wanted an ocean view and paid local farmers to move the house. It was discovered that the house was too big to move in one piece, so it was cut in half. The mules and logs used, were enough to roll the house to the new location but they were ineffective in moving the two halves together. With summer rapidly approaching, the farmers enclosed the two open ends, creating two buildings that stand today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642855759680-QG7FDJ4LISNGYWSGWN4U/JPEG+image+53.jpeg Blog - America’s Original Seaside Resort - Cape May, New Jersey Symmetrical, with dual staircase and porch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642855782061-78286L3HDGWC0FV8XO1E/JPEG+image+46.jpeg Blog - America’s Original Seaside Resort - Cape May, New Jersey Decked out in red, white and blue https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642855802818-8F3K2KMUKGG19U8KR6DF/JPEG+image+48.jpeg Blog - America’s Original Seaside Resort - Cape May, New Jersey Beautifully crafted home in the process of being lifted https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642955938894-XNBSCULPA1Q2HVULA12M/JPEG+image+63.jpeg Blog - America’s Original Seaside Resort - Cape May, New Jersey Morning Star Villa is another one of the historic homes that was converted to condominiums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642956390246-FLELIU13SQ7YO7B6U3IX/JPEG+image+68.jpeg Blog - America’s Original Seaside Resort - Cape May, New Jersey The wreckage of the S.S. Atlantus can be seen in the waters off of Sunset Beach. This was one of 12 concrete ships built in 1918, when there was a steel shortage and other low cost alternatives were being explored. The concrete fleet was decommissioned, and the Atlantus was going to be given a new life as a landing for ferry service between Cape May and Lewes in Delaware. Before it could be positioned, it broke loose during a coastal storm and ran aground where it can be seen partially protruding out of the water today. https://www.getoutnabout.com/blog/wandering-the-streets-with-a-rich-past-greenwich-village monthly 0.5 2025-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642472480261-P2OPE8GCAFQCDIYSVCP5/IMG_9361.jpg Blog - Wandering The Streets With A Rich Past - Greenwich Village Washington Square Park Arch https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642472583922-MDBAWYCI1JHXR6CLKEA7/IMG_9376.jpg Blog - Wandering The Streets With A Rich Past - Greenwich Village - Make it stand out Originally a courthouse, the Jefferson Market Library is a landmark building designed by Frederick Clark Withers and Calvert Vaux in Victorian Gothic style.

It was the first in-ground pool in Key West, and the only pool within 100 miles. The exorbitant construction costs once prompted Hemingway to take a penny from his pocket, press it into the wet cement of the surrounding patio, and announce jokingly, “Here, take the last penny I’ve got!”. The penny can still be seen embedded between flagstones at the north end of the pool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1713442014058-1C0HVLQZ7I3BILZNHQR7/IMG_2185.jpg Blog - An Author’s Florida Home - Hemingway House, Key West Embedded in the concrete by the pool is this 1934 penny. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712371162263-99R5CIXYFM1YUOVJWPTS/IMG_2291.JPG Blog - An Author’s Florida Home - Hemingway House, Key West Ernest’s presence can still be felt here, in his studio where he produced some of his most well-known works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712371155612-P6TF3ESXDH58IK62SV7E/IMG_2290.JPG Blog - An Author’s Florida Home - Hemingway House, Key West . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712371329984-HO493WQ5HKQ6TEX6SS19/IMG_2313.JPG Blog - An Author’s Florida Home - Hemingway House, Key West Inside the writer’s second floor studio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712371346241-SX2EW1Y2TCMMVXF75YYN/IMG_2314.JPG Blog - An Author’s Florida Home - Hemingway House, Key West . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712371353055-J19DV5JEM1CFPPDRTXK2/IMG_2316.JPG Blog - An Author’s Florida Home - Hemingway House, Key West . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712371403595-0HSL2PFDTQHFJG8I491X/IMG_2353.JPG Blog - An Author’s Florida Home - Hemingway House, Key West https://www.getoutnabout.com/blog/urban-genteel-life-on-lafayette-square-andrew-low-house monthly 0.5 2024-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576459008-21WEANESX9M1DRFE7WIC/IMG_3535.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House Public spaces on the main floor include the formal and informal parlors, the dining room and the family library. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576464712-HXF9OY25WLDSZQ1C9G6I/IMG_3537.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576481484-V0S8II68HGNLUU8LEXMF/IMG_3538.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576478043-T0HCQ4WCP8UGKPP6PS2T/IMG_3564.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576771869-V7Z4H6THBP9MNGTH4LOC/IMG_3571.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House Designed and built by New York architect John Norris, the Italianate-style stucco-brick mansion was completed in 1849. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576601033-Q1O7Q9X7XG5E9OGZR4YQ/IMG_3534.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House The house features some of the most intricate ironwork in the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576588030-FPA0GM6KMVL3SLB7TWVB/IMG_3544.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House The first floor entrance / stairway hall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576582419-4NA3E6S9UKGNW6BKWZ2B/IMG_3543.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576566012-1LQ7F0HBBLRQVL34EIEX/IMG_3539.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House The rooms contain period antiques, silver and crystal chandeliers and a 'giraffe-style' upright piano in the parlor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576570095-6RT26OHI24LRY7QPYAY0/IMG_3540.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1712576575850-5BH31W5UBK39PO0ABPO1/IMG_3541.JPG Blog - Urban Genteel Life On Lafayette Square - Andrew Low House The house itself has a colorful and interesting past, as several prominent people often visited the Low family during their residency; Robert E.

Francis H. Kimball and G. Kramer Thompson designed the mansion, including artwork, a ballroom that occupied an entire floor, a bowling alley and indoor pool. However, Mrs. Waldo chose not to move in to her expensively finished and furnished home. Gertrude’s eccentricities were often fodder for the local papers describing lawsuits, scuffles with a housekeeper, not paying a cook and maid and, of course, not moving into her luxurious new mansion. The mansion sat empty and fell into rapid decline. It changed hands a few times before Ralph Lauren took control of the building and opened the flagship store in the mansion in 1986. - Upper East Side https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509752755-OZHMNHLFX72CNR3KV5G8/IMG_0182.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side Ralph Lauren Woman’s Flagship store at 888 Madison Avenue was built in 2011 to resemble a Beaux Arts, Gilded Age mansion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509769261-AMRN774D2WETH2Q5BCSS/IMG_0184.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side Classic entrance - Upper East Side https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509778996-D4T9D2WF7SSJWYO82JWK/IMG_0185.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side Decorative wrought iron work - Upper East Side https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509797728-236KU0XCYCR4EQXJIRM2/IMG_0217.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side Former mansion - Upper East Side https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509819749-VB2Z6RVQZ41XT3YOZH0P/IMG_0231.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side View looking west on 42nd Street - Tudor City overpass https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509847782-SCHD9HLM1XMUJURT9F6Y/IMG_0241.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side The Peninsula Hotel was built in 1905 and opened as the Gotham Hotel but went bankrupt in 1908, partly because they could not get a liquor license and it was competing with more luxurious hotels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509870282-40UQCKQWS8R417PRYVN7/IMG_0401.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side Essex House on East 41st Street was built in 1929 and is part of a unique complex of apartment buildings overlooking First Avenue that runs between 40th and 43rd Streets. - Tudor City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509889492-TYTXYR0ADIYP80D4QGFD/IMG_0415.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side Grand Central Station - Midtown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509925318-TXLDBHIZ3W0HXXMPV2DF/IMG_0517.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side The world comes together for meetings here at the United Nations. - Midtown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509946688-8OXJHDECYI56NQHCA0K5/IMG_1176.JPG Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side Hippo Ballerina by Bjorn Skaarup -Midtown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642509968778-DUD1IB88GIAD18QAI7VP/IMG_1197.JPG Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side Rolf’s German Restaurant with their floor-to-ceiling Christmas decorations - Gramercy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642774561518-GIWDE1LGT49A5ZXKACL5/IMG_1304.jpg Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side This unique building at 160 Lexington Avenue was designed by Harvey Wiley Corbett in 1909 and was occupied by Touro College, but is now the high-end Dover Street Market with seven floors of shopping. - Kips Bay https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642510010100-MUNB967GM7UTLKDKJEXO/IMG_1401.JPG Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side Street message - Downtown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d723a2fe14c5637e59d0fb/1642510026949-B5LYMWAW1H93KG5NSK7P/IMG_1402.JPG Blog - Eastward Bound - Manhattan’s East Side This is one of the Medieval figures, with its gargoyle detailed canopy, that is part of the Emmet Building located at Madison Ave and 29th Street.
