• • The West Sisters on West End Avenue • •
• • According to Christopher Gray: The most ambitious town house still standing on West End Avenue is No. 266, between 72nd and 73rd, built in 1896 by Julius Jaros, an importer. "It is sometimes said that Mae West occupied the house for a time with her sister, Beverly, who is indeed listed there in a 1933 directory," Christopher Gray writes in his most current Streetscapes column: "West End Avenue — — Three Apples of Somebody’s Eye"; The N.Y. Times; 2 September 2010. Though his feature will not tell you much more about Mae and Beverly's tenancy there, it's worth looking at if you have an interest in Manhattan's architectural past.
