The Colonial Club

200 West 72 Street (SW corner at Broadway)
2071 - 2079 Broadway; 200-202 West 72 Street

The Colonial Club was built 1892 to house an social organization dedicated to drinking and perpetuating the memory of Revolutionary days. The building was designed by Henry Kilburn as what the NY Times described as...

A sort of colonial palazzo, mixing rich renaissance forms with light Adam-style detailing. With Bedford limestone on the ground floor and pale yellow Roman brick and gray terra cotta above, the building was ''delicate and clear,'' said an article in the Real Estate Record and Guide the year it opened.

The much-modified, underused and crumbling building had been the target of developers since the late 1980's real-estate boom, although the collapse of that bubble extended its life for another 20 years until the mid 2000's boom brought it down. Strangely, the site then sat dormant for a significant period of time, possibly due to damage to surrounding buildings incurred during demolition.
