Built
as an exclusive clubhouse, it was progressively the Monroe Club, the Royal
Arcanum Club, and in 1907, through the efforts of a young priest, the
Cathedral Club, a Roman Catholic fraternal organization. The priest went
on to become Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago. The St. Mark’s facade is
continued in spirit by the adjacent Montauk (Nos. 80-82) and Lenox (Nos.
76-78) apartment buildings, bay-windowed in brick and brownstone, a
handsome tiled pyramid centered atop. |
