Workmen preparing to lower one of the 100-pound metal cornices from the Hotel Ansonia on Broadway and 77th Street, September 22, 1942. The hotel scrapped thousands of pounds of its outstanding ornamental metal work to help in the war effort.
N.B. The Met site states that the hotel was designed by Stanford White, which isn’t true. The architect was Paul E. M. Duboy, assisted by the building’s developer, William Earle Dodge Stokes.
