bronwynrhIn sort of a "where are they now?" pursuit. . .
I'm reading the History of Woman Suffrage (vol. 5) and within one of the appendices is described the several locations of the National headquarters of the Woman Suffrage Association. Among the locations were three New York City addresses: 171 Madison Ave. (the 14th floor), and 505 Fifth Ave. (17th floor), and the World Building (used at two different times).
A few minutes of googling later, and I find,
at 171 Madison Ave. (14th floor), the IT company, High Caliber Solutions.
at 505 Fifth Ave, the building is owned by Kipp-Stawski and leased by American Capital Strategies. It's a new building on the site.
and the World Building was the first skyscraper, built in 1890. Here it is on the far left. Click the red dot there to read more about it. It was demolished in 1955 to make way for an expanded entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Pointless meandering, but fascinating :)
