The Islamic Cultural Center of New York is a mosque and Islamic cultural center in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, United States. It is located at 1711 Third Avenue, between East 96th and 97th Streets. The Islamic Cultural Center was the first mosque built in New York City. Construction of the mosque was begun on May 28, 1987, the day which represented the end of Ramadan. The cornerstone of the minaret was laid on September 26, 1988. Construction was delayed during the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait and the First Gulf War. The mosque opened on April 15, 1991, for the feast of Eid ul-Fitr. The architects were Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.
The Eldridge Street Synagogue is one of the earliest synagogue buildings erected in the United States by Eastern European Jews that survives. It opened at 12 Eldridge Street in New York's Lower East Side in 1887 serving Congregation Kahal Adath Jeshurun. The building was designed by the architects Peter and Francis William Herter. When completed, the synagogue was reviewed in the local press. Writers marveled at the imposing Moorish Revival building, with its 70-foot-high vaulted ceiling, magnificent stained-glass rose windows, elaborate brass fixtures and hand-stenciled walls. On December 2, 2007, after 20 years of renovation work that cost US$20 million, and that was overseen by the non-profit Museum at Eldridge Street and Walter Sedovic Architects the synagogue reopened to the public.
The Central Synagogue (Congregation Ahavath Chesed) is located at 652 Lexington Avenue on the corner of 55th Street, Manhattan, New York City, New York. Built in 1872 in the Moorish Revival style as a copy of Budapest's Dohány Street Synagogue, it pays homage to the Jewish existence in Moorish Spain. It has been in continuous use by a congregation longer than any other in the city. The dramatic style of the building was the subject of much debate during the construction. Some felt its excess would inspire envy and stand in the way of assimilation. It is among the oldest synagogue buildings still standing in the United States. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on May 15, 1975.It has been restored recently in the original style after a fire in August 1998.

Nathan G. Moore House (1895, 1923). In 1895, Wright's friend and neighbor, Nathan Moore, came to him with the commission for an expensive residence to be designed in the English Tudor style. With the depression at hand, a growing family, and just starting out on his own, Wright agreed, and delivered. The design featured high gables, half-timbering in the upper story, complex medieval chimneys, and diamond-pane casement windows. Unfortunately, the house caught fire on Christmas Day, 1922. Moore retained Wright to design plans for its reconstruction - in spite of the rumor that the cost of the house nearly bankrupted Moore! Wright's new design retained the brick walls, but above them he erected roofs that were even taller and more acutely pointed than those of the original house! Hidden behind the outward Gothic appearance of the house are elements of the exotic expressionistic style of Wright's Japanese and California years.

The painting was made in 1942-1943. Oil on canvas, 50 x 50 in. (127 x 127 cm). Mondrian saw the syncopated beat, irreverent approach to melody, and improvisational aesthetic of boogie–woogie as akin to his own "destruction of natural appearance; and construction through continuous opposition of pure means—dynamic rhythm."
