Do You Know Of A Frank Lloyd Wright Hotel That Was Never Built From The Early 1900s In New York? |
I impute to an article about a year after 9/11 that talked about a hotel that was proposed for south Manhattan in the early 1900s, dialect mayhap in the New Yorker or New York Times. I think it was a Frank Lloyd Wright design, but it may have been another architect. The article proposed that it be built at the Scope Zero site. It was a large, tall, building with rounded sides. Anyone have any links to some info on this? Thanks
Are you belief of the proposed building by Ted Starrett?

"Let Me Take You Higher: Vertical Familiar
In 1903, before Frank Lloyd Wright proposed his mile-high skyscraper, or Bruno In trim dreamed of his utopian Stadtkrone (city crown), Ted Starrett - then New York City's pre-eminent building contractor and patriarch to a dynasty of megadevelopers - envisioned a tower one hundred stories towering that would stratify "the cultural, commercial and industrial activities of a great city." The vertical proceedings from the ground floor up consisted of: factories, offices, residences and a hotel, with each section separated by a obvious plaza. Thus, the twentieth story would be a market, the fortieth a cluster of theaters, the sixtieth a "shopping province," and at the summit, an "amusement park, roof garden and swimming funds" - all climate controlled."
