The First TUDOR CITY SIGN?

What might be the first Tudor City sign ever was the above billboard, posted at 5th Avenue and 42nd Street early in 1927. Simply stating it's a "7 minute walk directly east" to Tudor City, it helpfully includes an arrow pointing in that direction. The photos which follow were made by the photographers Drucker and Baltes, who were hired by advertisers to document their presence.

April 27, 1927. The signs, from top to bottom, promote Tudor City/Circuline/Butterick Delineator.         

August 26, 1927. The signs are Tudor City/Nestle/Star Ham/Butterick Delineator.   

September 27, 1927. Three days later, Tudor City would officially open. The signs are Tudor City/Nestle/Colgate.

Here is our annual list of buildings under repair. While it's certainly an improvement over last year, bear in mind that September 30, 2027 ‒ the date of our centennial ‒ is fast approaching. A scaffold-free Tudor City is our goal.

No. 45
The 3Hs
The Woodstock

Scaffold-Free
The Cloister
Essex House
The Hermitage

Hotel Tudor
The Manor

Finally, all the graffiti has been removed except for the 'artwork' on the back side of No. 25. What is the holdup, one wonders.
