Salmagundi Club

The Salmagundi Club is a club for artists and people in the art scene. Located at at 47 Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, it serves as a watering hole for artists. The club often holds art exhibitions, art classes as well as art auctions.

Founded in 1871, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious art clubs in the world. The club occupies a building that is even older than itself, a mansion built in 1853 for Irad Hawley. The bulding was designated a historical landmark of New York City in 1969, and was added into the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

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.
