MISCELLANY

It's a new year and the perfect time to clear off the work desk and start anew. Here are some also-rans from the past year.

A friend recently sent this postcard and wondered if there was any connection to the hotel in Tudor City. In a word, nope. This Florida building is from 1939, and became part of the Art Deco Historic District of Miami Beach when it was formed in the 1970s. Today it's called the Dream Hotel South Beach, yet it still has the original Tudor Hotel sign in place.

Looking down 42nd Street, around 1937. This photograph nicely frames The Woodstock, the building with the spire in the center.

This picture is a collaboration of the Works Progress Administration and the New York City Tax Department to compile a photographic record of all the buildings of the five boroughs around 1940. We found it interesting that an Esso station used to be so close to home.

Finally, our annual report as to whether or not a building is undergoing exterior renovation.
