International Astrology Day

International Astrology Day (most often observed on either March 20 or March 21) is an annual observance/holiday celebrated by astrologers and astrology enthusiasts. It is seen by astrologers as the beginning (first day) of the astrological year. It is the first full day of the astrological sign of Aries and thus marks the beginning of the tropical Zodiac.Paul César Helleu

International Astrology Day is celebrated/observed depending on the exact day that the Northward equinox actually occurs. This varies year to year between March 19–22, though it usually falls on March 20 or March 21.

The date of the holiday occurs at the same time of the Iranian new year (Norouz), which is celebrated in many places throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. It also corresponds with the beginning of the Bahá'í calendar, which is celebrated as Bahá'í Naw-Rúz. Other holidays occurring around this time include Ostara (amongst neopagans), Chunfen in China, and Vernal Equinox Day (a public holiday in Japan), among others.

Grand Central Terminal, New York City

Grand Central Terminal (GCT; also referred to as Grand Central Station or simply as Grand Central) is a commuter rail terminal located at 42nd Street and Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.

Grand Central Terminal was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by Reed and Stem, which handled the overall design of the terminal, and Warren and Wetmore, which mainly made cosmetic alterations to the exterior and interior. Various elements inside the terminal were designed by French architects and artists Jules-Félix Coutan, Sylvain Salières, and Paul César Helleu. Grand Central has monumental spaces as well as meticulously crafted detail, especially on its facade, which is based on an overall exterior design by Whitney Warren.

The terminal is widely recognized and favorably viewed by the American public. In America's Favorite Architecture, a 2006-07 public survey by the American Institute of Architects, respondents ranked it their 13th-favorite work of architecture in the country, and their fourth favorite in the city and state after the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. In 2012, the American Society of Civil Engineers designated it a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark; one year later, historian David Cannadine described it as one of the most majestic buildings of the twentieth century.

The distinctive architecture and interior design of Grand Central Terminal's station house have earned it several landmark designations, including as a National Historic Landmark. Its Beaux-Arts design incorporates numerous works of art. Grand Central Terminal is one of the world's ten most-visited tourist attractions, with 21.6 million visitors in 2018, excluding train and subway passengers.

The New York Yacht Club had been around for nearly half a century in November of 1898 and, until then, was comfortably ensconced in a series of unpretentious clubhouses.  As the century came to a close, however, a more suitable headquarters was required.  From the Club's rooms on the second floor of a Madison Avenue townhouse, J. Pierpont Morgan started the ball rolling for a new location.

He announced that he would donate three lots on West 44th Street for the new building.  In return for giving the land Morgan demanded to choose the committee that would select the winning design:  himself.  The guidelines for the architects were published on November 5 with a 30-day deadline for submissions.  The new clubhouse must have a Model Room adequate to exhibit the Club's extensive collection, as well as doubling as a meeting room for up to 300 people.  A Library was required that could archive 15,000 books and a Chart Room was necessary where members could map out their cruises.

Morgan's committee chose the design by the firm of Whitney Warren and Charles Wetmore--their first important commission.  Whitney Warren produced the drawings and his ideas were unique at best.  He wanted to reflect the nautical foundation on which the Club was built.  His resultant five-story limestone-clad structure is exuberant Beaux Arts, overflowing with maritime themes.  The Club, he explained, has a mission of furthering "naval architecture from the amateur point of view."  And that he did.

Especially noticeable from the street are the three major windows fronting 44th Street.  Mimicking the sterns of the Dutch galleons that first came to New York, they spill stone waves over the window ledge.

A large terrace on the fourth floor, covered by a heavy wooden pergola, looks enticing from street level.

Inside, Warren let go of any inhibitions.  His Model Room sits directly behind the great galleon windows, is 100 feet deep, over two stories high and rests under an enormous and colorful stained glass ceiling.  Free-standing sea monsters add support to the great marble fireplace, the centerpiece of which is a painted yachting scene.  A balcony in the style of a galleon railing circles the room.

The Architectural Review, upon the Club's opening in 1901, was not pleased.  It called the robust fireplace "a riot of swags and spinach, icicles and exotic vegetation."  It was not, said the editors, "legitimate architectural design."

A bit kinder, The New York Times in 1906 said, "...except for the absence of motion, one might fancy oneself at sea."

The Grill Room took the theme and ran with it.  Heavy oak timbers and cast iron bolts were intended to replicate the space below decks in a vintage sailing vessel.  Here, at the turn of the century, the most notable names in New York finance and commerce ate and discussed sailing and business.

Despite Commodore Morgan's assertion about yachting that "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it," the building had to be paid for.  Therefore the annual dues were doubled from $25 to $50.

The New York Yacht Club continues to be one of the most unusual and visually pleasing buildings in Midtown Manhattan.

Snide river pilot.

""Old Guy" Conspicuous.

Among the lumberman [sic] of conspicuous figure was Guy C. Irvine, of Irvineburg, on the Conewango. "Old Guy" as his familiars called him was one of the largest operators on the river, "rough and tough" like Joey B. but in his roughness and toughness he was much more dangerous than Dicken's amiable old soldier. The old residents are full of men and the river. It was James Olney, the noted Allegheny pilot, who after examination with the eye of an expert the hull of the steamboat which Jerome W. Wetmore built near Warren to test his idea of a walking boat, gave his opinion to this effect: "With a good ingine, 'n a good starn-wheel 'n a good pilot 'n a plenty of beech wood, she-may-go-down the river, but she'll never come back, never."

I ended up down a rabbit hole of 1890's newspapers from a town near where I grew up and they really get snide.

--Harry Isarcs took down the charred remains of his Fourth of July fire, this morning and put up a brand new awning. Everything is now ready for another firecracker to be thrown on it.

There were many visitors from nearby towns and from the country districts in Warren yesterday. The fellow who always comes to town on holidays and gets loaded up with booze was very much in evidence, as usual.

--Dr. H. E. Barnhart and Harry Reed went down to the brickyard this afternoon where Mr. Highhouse told them they might fish for bull heads if they brought their own bait. Although the pond is a small one, the anglers are novices and it is not at all unlikely that Mr. Highhouse will have to provide them with a dip net if they are to bring home a catch.

The Crown Building (formerly known as the Heckscher Building) is a mixed use property located at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, one of the most expensive retail and office space locations in the United States. The Crown Building was originally known as the Heckscher Building, designed by architects Warren and Wetmore and completed in 1921. The building stands 26 stories (416 feet) high.

The building was purchased in 1981 by then Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos. Marcos used international companies to purchase the building secretly, also obtaining help from Ralpy and Joseph Bernstein as well as Adnan Khashoggi.

Grand Central Terminal (GCT; also referred to as Grand Central Station or simply as Grand Central) is a commuter rail terminal located at 42nd Street and Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Grand Central is the southern terminus of the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem, Hudson and New Haven Lines, serving the northern parts of the New York metropolitan area. It also contains a connection to the Long Island Rail Road through the Grand Central Madison station, a 16-acre (65,000 m2) rail terminal underneath the Metro-North station, built from 2007 to 2023. The terminal also connects to the New York City Subway at Grand Central–42nd Street station. The terminal is the third-busiest train station in North America, after New York Penn Station and Toronto Union Station.

Grand Central Terminal was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by Reed and Stem, which handled the overall design of the terminal, and Warren and Wetmore, which mainly made cosmetic alterations to the exterior and interior. Various elements inside the terminal were designed by French architects and artists Jules-Félix Coutan, Sylvain Salières, and Paul César Helleu.

Park Ave, 1932 View down Park Avenue from 51st Street showing the new Art Deco skyscrapers including the General Electric Building (Cross & Cross, 570 Lexington Ave), The Waldorf Astoria (Schultze & Weaver), The Chrysler Building (William Van Alen) and the Helmsley Building (originally the New York Central Building, ‎Warren and Wetmore). The buildings aligning Park Ave, including the Waldorf were developed by building atop the existing railroad tracks leading to the station, which were electrified and buried under Park Avenue and covered when the Terminal was built. Grand Central's builders pioneered the concept of air rights. Engineer William Wilgus called it "taking wealth from the air." The air rights above the Park Ave tunnel helped pay for the entire #GrandCentral complex. (at Grand Central Terminal) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg9zFYkOosh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jeweler Harry Winston’s $32.5 Million Manhattan Apartment

You would expect nothing less than 24-carat luxury in a sprawling 5,470-square-foot “jewel” of an apartment on New York’s tony Fifth Avenue, once owned by jeweler to the stars, Harry Winston.

Taking-up the entire ninth floor of the landmark 927 Fifth Avenue building overlooking New York’s Central Park, this sprawling, 14-room residence was home to Mr. Winston for more than 26 years.

Louise C. Beit, listing broker with Sotheby’s International Realty, says that Winston purchased the apartment in 1950 and spent a year renovating it before moving in the following year.

Then in 1976, two years before his death, Winston sold the home to prominent New York art collector, and current owner, Judith Hernstadt.

“It is truly a unique property, being one of the largest on Fifth Avenue and situated in one of the best-of-the-best locations. With only 12 apartments in the building, naturally it’s rare that one ever becomes available,” she explains.

Winston bought the apartment at the height of his illustrious career as the undisputed “King of Diamonds.” A year earlier, in 1949, he had acquired the most famous diamond of all, the 45.5-carat Hope Diamond. The heart-shaped blue stone, originally mined in India, dates back to the mid-1600s.

In 1958, Winston donated the gem to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC for permanent display. Infamously, he posted it to the museum via registered US Mail, in a box wrapped in brown paper.

The limestone-clad 927 Fifth Avenue building dates back to 1917, being  designed by famed New York City architects Warren & Wetmore, also known for the city’s Grand Central Terminal and New York Yacht Club.

Over the years, 927 Fifth has been home to some of New York’s wealthiest and most-prominent figures. Owners have included the late investment banker Bruce Wasserstein, shoe purveyor Kenneth Cole, leveraged buyout billionaire Marc Rowan, and Belco Oil founder Robert Belfer.

While the building’s co-op board tends to shun high-profile celebs—Barbra Streisand’s application to buy an apartment was one of the rejects—927 Fifth has been home to the likes of Mary Tyler Moore and former CNN anchor Paula Zahn.

An equally high-profile wannabe resident infamously shunned by the board was none other than Pale Male, and his partner Lola. Back in 1993, this pair of red-tailed hawks had the audacity to build their love nest on a 12-floor window ledge. When the board evicted the pair by jettisoning their nest, bird lovers the world over protested.

According to Sotheby’s Louise Beit, Floor Nine’s current owner, Ms. Hernstadt, has used the unit’s considerable space to exhibit her impressive collection of American and European art.

“One of the home’s true highlights is its 64-foot-long gallery, which is perfect for displaying artwork. That, and the grand corner living room, overlooking Fifth Avenue, that measures 33 feet by 18. It’s here where Ms. Hernstadt displays one of her prized pieces, the table George Washington used for playing cards,” she explains.

A private elevator opens into the apartment’s grand foyer. Steps away is that vast living room, adjoining formal dining room and wood-paneled library, each with its own wood-burning fireplace. Doors off the long gallery open to a large master suite, five additional bedrooms and staff quarters.

And throughout the apartment are fine architectural details, like herringbone hardwood flooring, original plaster moldings and sash windows.

“This apartment almost defines the expression “Location, location, location” adds Beit. “With Madison Avenue, Park Avenue, and of course the flagship Harry Winston store, being close by, there’s access to some of the best shopping and restaurants New York has to offer.”
