Columbus Circle

An innovative traffic mechanism, a monument to world exploration, and a majestic welcome to Central Park, the Columbus Circle is a historic landmark and nexus of New York's grandest avenues: Broadway, Central Park West, Central Park South, and Eighth Avenue.  Anchored by the iconic form of Christopher Columbus since 1892, Columbus Circle has evolved from 1905 to present day to include corporate buildings, green space, luxury hotels, and retail.

  1. Great opening posting. Add a statement/posting declaring your research intentions (they can change in the future and, if they do, you'll blog about the revisions).
