The historic Beaux-Arts building is back on the market for $100 million (down from $135 million), and includes the now-closed Stephen Starr restaurant Veronika gallery spaces, and Chapel Bar.

I didn’t realize the building was commissioned by J. P. Morgan and Cornelius Vanderbilt. I did know that in New York Magazine’s 2018 story about Anna Delvey, the address was floated as the potential headquarters for the Anna Delvey Foundation.
