Someone save this building. “Margaret Vanderbilt Shepard presented her daughter and new son-in-law with a French-style town home on fashionable West 57th Street just steps from Cornelius Vanderbilt II’s hulking chateau at the corner of Fifth Avenue. Dripping with carved Beaux Arts ornamentation, the five-story mansion featured a grand bowed window, two stories high, that supported a balcony with a graceful cast iron railing” #35west57th #vanderbilt #mansion #lastonestandingon57th #oldnewyork #history #architecture #beauxarts (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVoJt7hPLsB/?utm_medium=tumblr
