Bayard-Condict Building, at 65 Bleecker Street, is a beautiful 1898 building in East Village, Manhattan, New York City. It is the only structure designed by the great Chicago architect Louis Sullivan, who was the mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright. Sullivan was extolled as the Father of Modernism and the creator of modern skyscrapers, yet he died in poverty.
In designing the Bayard-Condict Building, Sullivan is said to have had a difference of opinion with Silas Alden Condict, the building's owner over the sentimental angels in the cornice. Eventually Condict got his way.
Today the Bayard-Condict Building stands as a memorial of the great architect, who, due to financial problems and alcohol, died poor, and even had his funeral paid for by his former understudy but now wealthy Wright.
The best way to view the Bayard-Condict Building is from afar. Move back a bit and you get a better view of the building.
