277 Fifth Avenue
Posted on March 30, 2015 by — No Comments
A charming example of Beaux Arts commercial architecture, 277 Fifth Avenue is clad in gleaming limestone and terra cotta. It was the New York location of Kate Reily, a noted British dressmaker who also had a US location in Chicago. Her designs included such creations as “white silk dresses edged with otter fur” worn with “mouse-colored velvet hats with ostrich plumes.”
The building is soon to be surrounded on both sides by new development.
