▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 3 Mitchell Pl./First Ave., Manhattan, NYC, NY. Full spectrum color, high definition photo… ✎ The Panhellenic Tower is one of the great Art Deco skyscrapers in Midtown Manhattan. Designed by the noted architect John Mead Howells & erected in 1927-29 as a residence and clubhouse for women belonging to national Greek-letter college sororities. The Panhellenic Tower provided affordable housing for young college-educated women who were entering the work force in record numbers in the 1920s. Though sparsely decorated, the 28-floor red brick Art Deco building incorporates handsome Gothic-inspired Art Deco ornament by the leading architectural sculptor Rene Chambellan. Granted NYC landmark status in 1998. |
