Taken: 2000
Caption: The original Audubon House marker, 2000
Additional Description: “Home of the National Audubon Society
Originally called the Schermerhorn Building when it was erected in 1891, 700 Broadway is an excellent specimen of architect George Post’s work in the Classical Revival style. In 1992, the National Audubon Society renovated the building to serve as its new headquarters and to function as a model of environmentally responsible building design. Audubon House demonstrates that, by increasing energy efficiently, reducing pollution, and recycling wastes, urban buildings can be economically viable and contribute to the welfare of the natural environment.”
