Summary
| Description | The Limelight on the Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) at West 20th Street in the Flatiron District, Manhattan, New York City, was built in 1844-1845, designed by Richard Upjohn, as the Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion, at a time when Sixth Avenue was still the location of fashionable homes. The complex of church and outbuildings is noted for its asymmetrical design, and for the random placement of the brownstone blocks. The building was bought by Odyssey House, a drug-rehab organization, in 1975, which then sold it in 1982 to Peter Gatien, who turned it into the Limelight disco. In 2010, after laying semi-dormant for some years, it was converted into the Limelight Marketplace of small up-scale shops. |
