Hello All ?
This is a message from newly converted
skyscraper fan. I'm a fifth year
architecture student at the Mackintosh
School of Architecture in Glasgow
(Scotland). For my dissertation myself
and another Mac student are studying the
Downtown Athletic
Club on West Street
New York. It was designed by Starrett
and Van Vleck Architects and completed
in 1931. I was first made aware of this
forgotten gem by Rem Koolhas book
Delerious New York and since then have
found some journal articals on it from
the 30's.
I can find information on the Heisman
Trophy but I can't find much information
on the building or on the architects.
If any one can help or know of anywhere
I could find information or photoes, I
would for ever be indebte
