The Durland Riding Club…Now Home To ABC New York

As you can read on the photo captions, the Durland Riding Club with it’s academy and stables was built on the site now occupied by ABC in 1901. The building had a front on both 66th and 67th Street, just west of Central Park.

These photos are somewhere in the TV 1 and 2 building I think. The photo on the right is duplicated as I clipped part of the caption in both. A lot of people have looked for these rare Durland photos, including me, but this is the only place I have ever seen them. Enjoy and share!

    It wasn’t fully knocked down rather parts of it remained including the old Knickerbocker Arena
    In the mid 1970’s when I worked at ABC in the electronic maintenance dept out shop floor was wood and had brass screws in the floor where pesticides were injected to kill all the remaining vermin left from the horse days and above us the “86” retired gear was stored on the old Ballroom floor

    CBS in Chicago was built into an old ice skating rink.

    Do you know when they knocked down the club to build ABC?
