“The monument to the American architect Richard Morris Hunt (1827–1895) is located along Central Park's perimeter wall at East 70th Street.”
Hunt was the founder & 1st president (1892) of the Municipal Arts Society (MAS). We’ve taken many of their tours.
Designed by Bruce Price it has three sculptures by Daniel Chester French.

"Winner of four Tony Awards, including Best New Play and two Drama Desk awards! Playwright Tom Stoppard's most personal work to date, Leopoldstadt is a look at the titular old Jewish Quarter in 1900s Vienna, after an influx of population after the Emperor, Franz Joseph, permitted the Jewish in his country full civil rights a generation before. Following one family over four generations, it is a deeply poignant and important projection of the Jewish experience in the 20th century."
