He did not have a whole townhouse, but rather the top two floors of a townhouse.<br />It was on Beekman Place, with fantastic views over the East River. I lived across the street.<br />The apartment was not as streamlined and as pared down as Halston'a house, and was almost scary with cantalivered walkway and balcony over the view, and <br />railless stairs!WM Twigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743820436546232316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-92026723206725177102011-04-11T08:24:57.131-04:002011-04-11T08:24:57.131-04:00Quintessence- That's a very cool story!

My dream was to go to Yale Architecture School where he had been dean & designed the building - somehow at the end of college I just wasn't ready for more school!! The townhouse is fabulous - don't you just love the wall of windows?! My father-in-law worked for the company that owned Halston so I inherited some great vintage things, including a fur. This is all so of that era - even the eating at the cocktail table - can't you just picture Bianca Jagger in all white sitting there?!quintessencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484326999396839391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-21794740313255432542011-04-11T08:19:09.687-04:002011-04-11T08:19:09.687-04:00Instead of being a new townhouse, architectural pu...Instead of being a new townhouse, architectural publications always noted that this was a renovation of a carriage house, albeit an extensive reworking that surely left little visible of the original structure. An austere Brutal facade gives no indication of the interior which had usually been photographed at night with hundreds of votives. Architect Paul Rudolph's own townhouse on Beekman Place is probably an extensive renovation as well. But the most notable of the completely new townhouses up to that time was the French style residence built the decade before for Paul and Bunny Mellon.The Devoted Classicisthttp://tdclassicist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
