I found this book to be a long read and hard to follow.

And interesting read about this apartment building. I had hoped this book would tell more about the building itself, but instead spoke more about the people who lived in the building. A few figures I found interesting and names I recognized. Definitely a who's who in American wealth and industry. I also found myself remembering stories I had heard, and didn't realize it was this apartment building. Hard to believe something like this still exists in the heart of New York City.

If you enjoy reading about people and history, then you may enjoy this book.
