The Vanderbilt Hotel. I'm guessing that one of the ubiquitous Vanderbilts had a hand in this one. Built in 1912. Says the card: "It occupies an entire block on Park Avenue from 33rd to 34th Street. New York is known for its palatial hotels and the Vanderbilt is the latest and most exclusive on the list." It certainly owns its site; adjacent buildings seem to shrink in mute fear at its feet.
