Bayard-Condict Building

Bayard-Condict Building, at 65 Bleecker Street, is a beautiful 1898 building in East Village, Manhattan, New York City. It is the only structure designed by the great Chicago architect Louis Sullivan, who was the mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright. Sullivan was extolled as the Father of Modernism and the creator of modern skyscrapers, yet he died in poverty.

In designing the Bayard-Condict Building, Sullivan is said to have had a difference of opinion with Silas Alden Condict, the building's owner over the sentimental angels in the cornice. Eventually Condict got his way.

Today the Bayard-Condict Building stands as a memorial of the great architect, who, due to financial problems and alcohol, died poor, and even had his funeral paid for by his former understudy but now wealthy Wright.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
