ross ellis halstead property: Modern architecture vs WWII architecture on Sutton Place
- 08/24/13 04:50 AM
One hears the name Sutton Place and they immediately think of pre-war charm, Emery Roth, and the Silk Stocking District.

At that time, the New York City Board of Aldermen approved a petition to change the name from “Avenue A” to … (0 comments)
