#vintage Manhattan

[newyorkthegoldenage]

The main difficulty in getting around Manhattan is going from east to west (or vice versa). In 1920, someone had the idea of building a subway loop in midtown to do so. It would have solved some problems but not enough--the plan should have included many more transverse lines further uptown. In any event, needless to say, it all came to nothing.

William A. Clark Residence in Manhattan, New York City,

The mansion was completed in 1911. It was reported that Clark bought a quarry in New Hampshire and built a railroad to transport the stone for the building. He also bought a bronze foundry employing 200 men to manufacture the bronze fittings.

In addition, he imported marble from Italy, oak from Sherwood Forest in England, and parts of old French châteaux for the interior.

The mansion was demolished in 1927 and replaced with a 'luxury' apartment building...

The staggeringly beautiful Sofia Costanza Brigida Villani Scicolone, better known to the world as Sophia Loren. Here she’s seen in Manhattan in 1958 on the set of “That Kind of Woman,” wearing her ever-present men’s dress wristwatch. One of the first to popularize the trend, she’s still gorgeous, active and a fashion icon at 88.

C.V. Farrow drew this beautiful map of what he called "The Wondrous Isle of Manhattan" in 1926. You MUST enlarge it. It wasn't intended to be used for navigation, but rather as a pictorial representation of the island's highlights. Below are a few details that show you what the full-size map is really like. You should enlarge them, too!

“I’m wearing a vintage 70s leisure suit from a store in Topanga CA. My Mom thrifted me the top. My current style is influenced by my love of color and truly wanting to express who I am on the inside.”
