Remarks:
|
Cortlandt Field Bishop (November 24, 1870 March 30, 1935) was an American pioneer aviator, balloonist, autoist, book collector, and traveler. In 1925, the company leased, from the estate of Frederick Heimsoth, the plot at the southwest corner of 56th Street and Sixth Avenue, giving him the entire block front from 55th to 56th on Sixth Avenue, upon which he planned to build a 15 story apartment building, which was completed in 1928.
