UPDATE POST for everyone who gave me their name for the Stanford White event: all names (Susan Spector got the last seat) have been added to the list and confirmed by Landmark West, an event co-sponsor. For more information, go to this link.
If you’re fascinated by the architecture and excitement of New York’s Gilded Age, then this is for you.
On September 12, the The National Arts Club and Landmark West are hosting an hour-long program called “Temples of Power, Temples of Pleasure: Stanford White’s Manhattan.”
Author Paula Uruburu will offer insight into White’s creative genius and scandalous love life. The program and a Q and A take place at the beautiful National Arts Club building at 15 Gramercy Park South.
If any Ephemeral New York readers would like to attend, please message me and I can add your name to a list; admission will be free.
Landmark West has more info here.

Hi there.
I’d love to attend the talk about Stanford White. I am a volunteer greeter/tour guide in the park for the Washington Square Park Conservancy. We have studied Stanford White in relation to the arch and of course his scandalous murder. I’d love to know more. If possible I’d like to bring another fellow volunteer or even two? Thank you so much.

Hello again.
Wondering if you can confirm my name: Heather Rogan +2 from Washington Square Park Conservancy volunteers? Thank you so much! We are looking forward to this event.

September 7, 2018 at 2:50 pm |
Thank you all—I have everyone’s names and will forward to the organizers. I was told Ephemeral New York could have up to 30 seats, so it shouldn’t be sold out, but I will follow up and make sure.
September 7, 2018 at 2:54 pm |
Please add my name, Linda Davies, to the guest list.
September 7, 2018 at 3:04 pm |
done, thank you!
September 7, 2018 at 3:06 pm |
I moved to NYC last year and fell in love with the architecture of this city – even the old flats. I am just discovering some of the architects and your most interesting blog. If you have 2 tks remaining my husband and I would so enjoy this program. Thank you.
September 7, 2018 at 3:50 pm |
If this is the place to send the request to, please add my name: Ron Janoff

Any chance of getting a second entry for my husband, Mike Davies? He’s decided to join me if he can get in. Thanks!
September 7, 2018 at 6:09 pm |
Thanks again for your fast replies, I’ve got your names and a plus-one should be fine
September 7, 2018 at 6:10 pm |
thank you. Will you let us know, or do we just show up?
September 7, 2018 at 6:32 pm |
I’ll send out an update post the day before to make sure everything is set, and then my understanding is that you can show up–your names should be on a list. But I’ll confirm next week. Ephemeral New York isn’t a host or sponsor, but the kind folks at Landmark West offered me 30 seats, thinking that readers would be interested.
September 7, 2018 at 6:47 pm |
Thanks for passing this on to us! You send the best updates…
September 7, 2018 at 6:58 pm |
Thank you!
September 7, 2018 at 7:44 pm |
This is irresistable, ephemeral; would you please add “Trilby” to the list? I look forward to seeing my name on the attendance list prior to the event. Thank you!
September 7, 2018 at 10:19 pm |
Hello, I love your site. Please let me know if there is still room available at the event and if so, include my name and my wife’s name -Robert Feder and Florence Zeman as attendees at the event.
Thank you,
Robert Feder

Thank you, eph!
September 9, 2018 at 1:05 am
Thanks. We’re looking forward to the lecture.
September 8, 2018 at 2:49 pm |
Did Sanford White design the National Arts Club? I thought it was the Player’s Club. Pardon my ignorance, but did he design both of them?
September 8, 2018 at 2:51 pm |
Ooops….Stanford…
September 8, 2018 at 6:42 pm |
Is it still possible for a friend and I to attend the lecture? My name is Alison Schondorf.
Thanks very much.
September 8, 2018 at 7:15 pm |
Yes, I’ll forward your name, thank you. I think you are the last one!
September 8, 2018 at 7:20 pm |
Much appreciated. Just to make sure I have it right: is that for one or two people?
September 8, 2018 at 7:23 pm |
for you and a plus-one
September 9, 2018 at 5:24 pm |
Thank you again
September 8, 2018 at 7:58 pm |
Hi! If there are any tkts. left, I would really enjoy going. Thanks so much, Pat DeMarco.
September 10, 2018 at 10:45 am |
Please sign me and a companion up for the lecture on Stanford White. (Two attendees, please.) Names: Kris Saylors and Ralph Baker.

Thank you.

September 10, 2018 at 3:42 pm |
Thank you! I’m not sure there are any more seats left; I think we hit 30 on Sept 8 around 7 pm.
September 10, 2018 at 1:28 pm |
Please add me to the list. Thanks.
September 10, 2018 at 3:43 pm |
I think we’ve reached the limit for tickets!
September 11, 2018 at 3:17 pm |
I wish I could attend but am not in NYC this month. I want to comment on the photograph of MSG taken from inside Madison Square. The building on the right is the Jerome mansion where Winston Churchill’s mother Jennie Jerome lived.
September 11, 2018 at 5:50 pm |
Update for everyone who signed up for a seat for the Stanford White event: all your names (Susan Spector got the last seat) have been added to the list, and that’s been confirmed by Landmark West, one of the event co-sponsors.
September 12, 2018 at 3:40 pm |
Ephemeral, is there any way we may check the list to be sure our names are included? Thanks.
September 12, 2018 at 3:54 pm
Hi Trilby, unfortunately I don’t have the list, but I can assure you that Landmark West confirmed that all the names of people who signed up through ENY will be on it. However, I understand your concerns…it can’t hurt to call or message LW and ask:
https://www.landmarkwest.org/
September 12, 2018 at 5:25 pm
Thank you, eph; will do.
September 13, 2018 at 7:17 pm |
I want to thank you for opening these seats for your readers. We had a wonderful time last night, learned a lot about the life of Standford White, enjoyed the enlightened contributions of Paula Uruburu, met new people, admired the National Arts Club, found new resources for our adventures, and even enjoyed the walk home in the rain. Gracias my friend.
September 13, 2018 at 8:06 pm |
I also want to add my thanks, and echo those sentiments. A lovely evening! Thank you so much for the seats!
September 13, 2018 at 9:28 pm |
So glad to hear it! And the rain yesterday evening didn’t keep you from taking an enlightening trip back to the Gilded Age.
