...take pride of comfort in. Philadelphia's old-guard PEnnypacker and stalwart FIdelity will be gone; San Francisco will lose its lusty KLondike and sunny VAlencia; Mobile's TUlip will wither alongside Cincinnati's BRamble and Santa Fe's YUcca. Fenton, MO., will be torn from it's cozy FIreside, while Chester, Pa., and its saucy GYpsy will be parted. NIghtingale and HYacinth will nevermore breathe their poetry over Brooklyn's wires. The sands are running out fpr such venerable status symbols as Upper East Side Manhattan's BUtterfield 8 and REgent...

Still, these "French flats," patterned after Parisian apartments of the day, right down to the watchful concierge, caught on fast. Until the day it was torn down a few years ago, the building never had a vacancy. Moreover, it set the pattern. As the residential section of the city crept uptown, fashionable New Yorkers moved in evergrowing numbers into the massive and ornate variants of Stuyvesant's Folly that rose along Park and Fifth Avenues...
