Abstract
- The impassioned controversy over the now-complete addition to the land-marked Harvard Club of New York is not over. While for some, the Modernist-style glass and limestone exterior respects the original neo-Georgian brick clubhouse built in 1894 by McKim, Mead and White, for others, the addition is a desecration. Members opposed to the Davis Brody Bond addition went to extraordinary lengths to kill it before construction started. Stephen Raphael, a club member who served on the New York City Landmarks Commission from 1991 to 1997, says he would have voted against the Bond addition if he were still a commission member.
