    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.
