Good Works

414 W. 14th wasn't the only building celebrating Bastille Day. We dropped by Artsource International's 333 Park Ave South HQ for wine, cheese, and a salon on Marie Antoinette with the New York Businesswomen's Network. But what does the French queen have to do with real estate? Well, she did have quite an eye for design, says Crilly Cos. interior designer Maureen Crilly, who discussed the queen's tastes from Versailles to Le Petite Trianon.

He regaled AREW members and guest with tales of gangsters, Prohibition, and the famous people he's met since he and his family purchased the theater in the ‘60s from mobsters.
