Buckingham

This stained glass window above the entrance to the Buckingham Hotel caught my eye recently. The Buckingham is on 57th Street, near Carnegie Hall and was apparently home to many singers and musicians in its day. It still looks pretty nice, if pricey. I wouldn't mind staying there some day. Enjoy your weekend.

Good image! The hotel dates from 1929, but could not find anything out about the stained glass artist. I like how the small representation of the Chrysler Building was worked into the design! I hope you have a good weekend!
