Old Madison Square Garden. This version of the building was constructed in 1890 and demolished in 1929. Its architect, Stanford White, was murdered here in 1906 by the husband of his former lover.
Yankee_in_Madrid says Looks like its architect got his inspiration from the Giralda tower in Sevilla. https://images.app.goo.gl/b4vDvWthyfBS4wys6
LocallySourcedWeirdo says At the very top of the tower is a sculpture of Diana that has a really interesting history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_(Saint-Gaudens)
BNCE_TruthSeeker says For how long they are going to lie about our true history? Who builds this magnificent buildings just to demolish it and replace it with a cheap box?
EATucci says “Former lover” is generous- Evelyn Nesbit was an underaged girl who Stanford White raped repeatedly while assuming complete control over her life
matt_the_non-binary says The sad thing is, this place never financially succeeded, which is why it was torn down in the first place.
