Bloomberg has a doom & gloom article on Kushner Co's purchase of the bldg. Sounds like it might be a setup to take Steve Roth (sChild?) down.

There's a Vanderbilt connection to 666 Fifth Ave, and a reference to the "Stouts" in the comments:

"There was one difference: a sweep of larger windows on the second floor. This was the principal floor of a three-story maisonette purchased by Virginia Vanderbilt for $195,000 in early 1926, before the building was complete. She must have supervised the planning of the 27-room apartment. The New York Times reported that the main salon was to be 22 feet by 46, with a library 18 feet by 23, and that all would have ceilings 18 feet high.

As it happens, Mrs. Vanderbilt was deserting her house at 666 Fifth Avenue, which she sold for $1.5 million, and it may have been she who selected a separate number for the maisonette — 666 Park Avenue.

Mrs. Vanderbilt and her husband, William K. Vanderbilt Jr., had been living apart since 1909, and her choice of location was peculiar, because Mr. Vanderbilt had since 1923 owned a maisonette apartment across the street at 655 Park Avenue. In any event, she had a change of heart and sold the maisonette in September 1927, a few months after filing for divorce.

This is interesting: the original building at 660 Fifth Ave (which became 666 Fifth Ave) was owned by William K Vanderbilt.

Has anyone read the Pendergast series of books by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child?

In their 2nd book titled "Reliquary", they go into detail about a secret subway line only for the elite that was deep under these Fifth Ave mansions. I have always wondered if that subway actually existed.

I thought the same thing. I bet Preston/Child know a lot more than we think. Reliquary & Cabinet of Curiosities have always been my favorites.

The Vanderbilts have owned property at 666 Fifth Ave & 666 Park Ave. Wonder if they have any connection to Boston & its library?

Thank you! will try that.

It's funny you should say that. the article below is mostly silly, but it does say that DC Comics had offices at 666 Fifth, AND the pic it uses is of 550 CPW. Cue Twilight Zone music.
