Bayard-Condict Building - 1879-1899
65 Bleeker Street (between Broadway & Lafayette)
One of my favorite buildings in New York and the only one designed by Louis Sullivan (in
conjunction with Lyndon P. Smith), the designer of the Chicago
School and mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright, the Bayard-Condict Building was considered a radical design in its time as one of the first steel frame structures in the city.

| The cornice is ornately designed frieze of white terra cotta angels with wings and arms outspread. |
The exterior is covered
in white terra cotta decoration over masonry. The building became a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
