#project365 [day 66] The Helmsley Building Entrance

NewYork_20150324_014

The location of this building baffles me, as it sits in the middle of Park Avenue, but for today the focus in on it's beautiful main entrance. Built in 1929 and designed by Warren & Wetmore in the Beaux-Arts style, this was a created as a showpiece by the New York Central Railroad Company. That shows of in its ornate entrance and is carried on in the grandiose lobby that is marked by a beautiful row of chandeliers, the first of which can be seen here.
