Street sign in center indicates this as the intersection of Madison Avenue with E 50th Street. In the Historical American Buildings Survey, this is listed as Villard Houses, 451-457 Madison Avenue & 24 East Fifty-first Street, New York, New York County, NY.

Now part of the vulgar New York Palace Hotel.

Hi swang: thanks for pointing out the address in the Historical American Buildings Survey (HABS) record. It does look like the address in the HABS record is incorrect. It should say 451-457 Madison Avenue. Henry Villard erected these houses hence the name Villard Houses. Whitelaw Reid was one of its residents.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called American /Italian Renaissance Architecture, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

It's hard to imagine Madison Avenue being this quiet during the day. Maybe then it was a posh residential district.

NYT article indicates that the Duke of Connaught, brother of the late King Edward VII, dined with Whitelaw Reid (US Ambassador to London) on Jan 22, 1912. See query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9506E0DE173CE633A...
