NoMad
The apartment building at 1200 Broadway, once the Gilsey House Hotel (built 1869–1871),[1] is an example of Second Empire Baroque architecture[2]
Parts of Broadway in NoMad, such as this block between 26th and 27th Streets, are full of small "wholesale" import shops.
The Church of the Transfiguration (seen here in 1900) has been special to theater workers since 1870, when another church's pastor refused the funeral of actor George Holland and suggested it go to "the little church around the corner."[1]
The Armory Show in 1913 was a seminal event in the history of Modern Art

NoMad ("North of Madison Square Park"), also known as Madison Square North,[3][4] is a neighborhood centered on the Madison Square North Historic District in the borough of Manhattan in New York City.

The name NoMad, which has been in use since 1999,[5][6] is derived from the area’s location north of Madison Square Park. The neighborhood is bordered by East 25th Street to the south, East 29th or East 30th Street to the north, Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) to the west and Madison or Lexington Avenue to the east.[3][7][a] The surrounding neighborhoods are Chelsea to the west, Midtown South to the northwest, Murray Hill to the northeast, Rose Hill to the east, and the Flatiron District to the south. NoMad is part of Manhattan Community District 5.[11]

But although the character of the tenants has shifted, the historic neighborhood, which some call NoMad (for North of Madison Square Park) and which is bounded by 25th and 29th Streets, between Madison Avenue and Avenue of the Americas, has seen very little new construction since the Great Depression.
