Whitney Warren’s Sketch for a "library-museum"

As commodore of the New York Yacht Club, Morgan served on the committee that selected architect Whitney Warren’s ambitious designs for the new clubhouse that opened in 1901 on West 44th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. It may have been around that time that Morgan asked Warren to draw up these undated plans for his Library. There is no record of Morgan’s response; we only know that he chose not to engage Warren and turned instead to Charles Follen McKim.
