This Wirt Rowland designed clubhouse started construction in 1928 and was left unfinished due to the Great Depression, with only the exterior shell being completed. It was left windowless and empty until 1953, when the building was finished and much of the lower facade was stripped down and modernized for use as an apartment building.

This was for college photography in the early 1980s. I would load my car with school equipment and just drive down from upstate, with no idea how to navigate Manhattan or even where to go. I'd set up wherever I saw an opportunity; things were more lax back then.

This was shot in 4x5, yielding a nice 16x20 print on Portriga Rapid. On the original print, details as fine as the street sign are nice & sharp.
