This family built my favorite New York City skyscaper, the Seagram  
Building.
This is really a little Chicago in New York, having been designed by
Mies Van der Rohe who was originally German, of course, but whose  firm
and most activity was in the Chicago area.
 
This "International Style" dates me, but I have never quite gotten  over
the Barcelona Exposition (I just gave my two Barcelona Chairs 
remaining from my German residency days to my daughter).
 
I also realize that the Seagram was one of the most expensive  buildings
per square foot, and one of the least energy efficient.  It is,  however,
supremely elegant.  And the Four Seasons Restaurant ain't bad  either.
