The 22 acre complex located between 48th and 51st streets in New York City was designed by what architect?
Julian Street, Jr. residence The Julian Street, Jr. residence is an early Modernist fieldstone house in Briarcliff Manor, New York. The house was designed by the New York architect Wallace K. Harrison for Julian Street, Jr. and his wife, Narcissa, in 1938. Harrison, primarily known as a monuments architect through his works in New York City like Rockefeller Center and the United Nations complex, also designed a few private residences. Harrison designed and built the Julian Street, Jr. residence at 710 Long Hill Road West as an unconventional experiment in the early Modernist architecture that was just being introduced in America during the late 1930s.
Winston Churchill Square Sir Winston Churchill Square, resting at the SW junction of Bleecker and Downing Streets with 6th Avenue, is a .05 acre garden and sitting area in Manhattan, New York City. New York City Department of Parks & Recreation purchased the parcel in 1943. George Vellonakis designed the sitting area, which was rebuilt from 1998 to 1999. The Bedford Downing Block Association assists with the square's maintenance. Professor Emeritus Bert Waggott, of Cooper Union and Pratt Institute, has overseen all maintenance since Spring 2002, until his passing in May 2014. Prof. Waggott ran a crew of volunteers - yet still performed the lion's share of what remains to this day, thanks to the efforts of his Widow Rosemarie, a vibrantly colorful and lovely park.
