NYC landmarks panel rejects Seagram renovation
New York
NEW York City's Landmarks Preservation Commission approved changes to the carpet at Four Seasons, the restaurant inside the Seagram Building, while declining to vote on bigger renovations sought by the tower's landlord.
RFR Holding LLC proposed to replace a non-original fissured glass partition with planters and to replace a fixed walnut panel between the public and private dining rooms with a movable one. The plans drew opposition from Phyllis Lambert, daughter of the late Seagram Co president Samuel Bronfman. Ms Lambert, in the 1950s, oversaw the design of the skyscraper and selected its architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
