The Harvard Club of New York is a private social club located in Midtown Manhattan, New York, New York, USA. The club is the sole New York university-related club whose membership is restricted almost entirely to alumni and faculty of one university, Harvard University (unlike other New York City university-related clubs, which allow alumni from multiple schools to join). Incorporated in 1887, it is housed in adjoining lots at 27 West 44th Street and 35 West 44th Street. The original wing, built in 1894, was designed in red brick neo-Georgian style by Charles Follen McKim of McKim, Mead & White.HistoryOriginally founded without a location in 1865 by a group of Harvard University alumni, the club first rented a townhouse on 22nd Street. In 1888, land was acquired by the members on 44th Street. The clubhouse was established in the neighborhood where many of New York City's other clubs such as the New York Yacht Club were located, and across the street from the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of the City of New York.The club selected architect Charles Follen McKim, of McKim, Mead & White, for the project. The design was Georgian style of architecture with Harvard brick and Indiana limestone. The building’s façade is reminiscent of the gates at Harvard Yard. In 1905, Harvard Hall, the Grill Room, a new library, a billiard room, and two floors of guest rooms were added. In 1915 McKim, Mead & White doubled the building’s size by constructing the Main Dining Room, a bar, additional guestrooms, banquet rooms, and athletic facilities including a 7th floor swimming pool. In 2003 a new 40,000-square-feet contemporary glass and limestone building was added by Davis Brody Bond under the direction of J. Max Bond, Jr.

It was designed by Starrett & van Vleck and built by Fred T.Ley in 1916. The land upon which it was built was previously occupied by the Progress Club.

The Arsenal is a symmetrical brick building with modestly Gothic Revival details, located in Central Park, New York City, centered on 64th Street off Fifth Avenue. Built between 1847 and 1851 as a storehouse for arms and ammunition for the New York State Militia, the building predates the design and construction of Central Park, where only the Blockhouse (1814) is older.The Arsenal was designed by Martin E. Thompson (1786–1877), originally trained as a carpenter, who had been a partner of Ithiel Town and went on to become one of the founders of the National Academy of Design. Thompson's symmetrical structure of brick in English bond, with headers every fifth course, presents a central block in the manner of a fortified gatehouse flanked by half-octagonal towers. The carpentry doorframe speaks of its purpose with an American eagle displayed between stacks of cannonballs over the door, and crossed sabers and stacked pikes represented in flanking panels.The building currently houses the offices of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and the Central Park Wildlife Conservation Center, but it has also served as a zoo and housed a portion of the American Museum of Natural History's collections while its permanent structure was being erected. During the course of its lifetime it has also housed a police precinct, a weather bureau, and an art gallery.

834 Fifth Avenue is a luxury residential housing cooperative in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. It is located on Fifth Avenue at the corner of East 64th Street opposite the Central Park Zoo in Central Park. The limestone-clad building was designed by Rosario Candela, a prolific designer of luxury apartment buildings in Manhattan during the period between World War I and World War II. 834 Fifth Avenue is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious apartment houses in New York City. It has been called "the most pedigreed building on the snobbiest street in the country’s most real estate-obsessed city" in an article in the New York Observer newspaper. This status is due to the building's overall architecture, the scale and layout of the apartments, and the notoriety of its current and past residents. It is one of the finest buildings designed by Rosario Candela, according to The New York Times.HistoryThe building was constructed in 1931, and was one of the last luxury apartment houses completed before the Great Depression halted such projects in New York City. Its street facing facades are composed entirely of limestone. Elements of Art Deco styling were utilized on the entry ways and portions of the Fifth Avenue facade. The building uses setbacks at the upper floors to create terraces for several apartments and provide visual interest from a distance.

CitySpire Center – wieżowiec w Nowym Jorku w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Ma ponad 248 metrów wysokości i 75 pięter. Jest to jeden z najwyższych budynków w mieście, zajmujący obecnie 9. miejsce.Został zaprojektowany przez Murphy/Jahn, Inc. Architects. Jego budowa zakończyła się w roku 1987. Jest on wykorzystywany w różnoraki sposób. 23 pierwsze piętra zajmują biura, wyżej znajdują się luksusowe apartamenty, których wielkość rośnie wraz z piętrem. Reprezentuje styl postmodernistyczny w architekturze. Jego całkowita powierzchnia wynosi 77107 m². Budynek należy do Tishman Speyer Properties. Firma ta zakupiła go wraz z 11 innymi budynkami 5 grudnia 2004 roku za ponad 1,8 mld dolarów.Gdy został ukończony, był to drugi na świecie najwyższy budynek zbudowany z betonu. Pomimo tego, że znajduje się bardzo blisko Carnegie Hall Tower i Metropolitan Tower, jest dobrze widoczny z Central Parku. Problemów przysporzyła kopuła, która znajduje się na dachu wieżowca. Krótko po wprowadzeniu się pierwszych mieszkańców zgłaszali oni dziwny dźwięk dochodzący ze szczytu budynku. Dźwięk ten był spowodowany wiejącym po kopulastym dachu wiatrem. Problem ten został szybko rozwiązany.Zobacz też lista najwyższych budynków w Nowym Jorku lista najwyższych budynków w Stanach Zjednoczonych lista najwyższych budynków na świecie
