The LPC is reportedly considering landmarking the exteriors of 47 W. 28th Street, 49 W. 28th Street, 51 W. 28th Street, 53 W. 28th Street, and 55 W. 28th Street, addresses that—as Curbed notes—have lately been on shaky ground. In recent years, they have been advertised for sale for developers looking to build high rises.
Clustered along the stretch of 28th Street between 6th Avenue and Broadway, sheet music publishers (as many as 38 of them by 1907) employed composers and writers to put together songs you will surely recognize: “God Bless America” and “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and “Give My Regards to Broadway” and “Alexander’s Ragtime Band.”
