Message: [QUOTE="OldSchooler, post: 4555989, member: 11804"] Churchill's mother, Jennie Jerome, grew up in one of Manhattan's classiest mansions, at the southeast corner of Madison Avenue and East 26th Street, looking out on Madison Square Park, and just across 26th Street from the original Madison Square Garden (now the home office of New York Life Insurance Co.). Its distinctive architecture and awnings did not shield it from the wreckers' ball in 1967, just before the NYC Landmarks Preservation Law went into effect. (Google: Jennie Jerome Mansion, and reference the movie "Ragtime," about the celebrated Stanford White murder trial.) [/QUOTE]
