A syndicate of wealthy men built the second Madison Square Garden (seen here) in 1890 on Twenty-sixth Street, overlooking Madison Square Park. The architect, Stanford White, incorporated Moorish characteristics in the Beaux Arts structure. White occupied a studio in the tower for his work, and he was killed at the rooftop restaurant on June 25, 1906.
Stanford White, born in New York in 1853, studied architecture in Europe. Using elements of the Italian Renaissance style, he created a new style called Free Classical. In addition to Madison Square Garden, he designed banks, the Boston Public Library, the Washington Square Arch, and private residences, making him rich in the 1890s. Although he was married, at age 47, he grew interested in 16-year-old model and showgirl Evelyn Nesbit. He convinced Nesbitâs mother he wanted only to be a benefactor.
