Two Columbus Circle
1964 New york county, new york
landmark status: None; full Landmarks Preservation Commission hearing denied.
threat: Inappropriate alterations.
Two Columbus Circle represents a milestone in the Modern Architecture
movement. Edward Durell Stone’s 1964 museum for Huntington
Hartford's art collection broke ground as arguably one of the first
post-modern building designs. Current plans for adaptive use would
significantly reconfigure the interior and completely replace the
building's marble facade. A “save” would result in
a modified design that would have less impact on the exterior of
the building and respect its historic integrity.
