There were few finer views in NewYork at mid-century than the panorama from Frank LloydWright's second-floor corner suite at the Plaza Hotel. Beyond its tall arched windows facing Fifth Avenue and Central Park South, the city's premier green space, Central Park, stretched north in one unbroken 843-acre swath.Along the east side of the park stood prestigious residences and great cultural institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, and "Millionaires' Row," once home to a procession of opulent turn-of-the century mansions built by some of NewYork's wealthiest families.To the south, fashionable department stores and chic shops marched toward midtown.Thirty blocks to the north on Fifth Avenue, between East Eighty-Eighth and East Eighty-Ninth streets, stood the site upon which the Guggenheim Museum would soon begin to rise.
