Fancy Digs: 1904
New York circa 1904. "Ansonia Apartments." This Beaux-Arts wedding cake, which still stands at Broadway and West 73rd Street, was last glimpsed here. 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
The Divine Miss M
Bette Midler rose to fame singing at the Continental Baths in the Ansonia (with a young Barry Manilow at the piano).
Wow
This building is far more interesting than just it's exterior. Long history leads to interesting facts and stories. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ansonia.
I always loved this place!
This shot is a beauty. I lived right up the block (on West 73d)in my college days and always loved passing by the amazing-looking Ansonia(although the outside was far more impressive than the inside in the 1980's, from what I could see) My favorite part? Hearing the vocal and/or instrumental music wafting from various performer's windows... a lot of creative types lived there in those days (and before and after too, I would bet)
Actually Still Around!
Nice to hear of one of these grandiose old piles that's still around, so many of the great buildings on Shorpy aren't with us anymore!
