At 52nd and Broadway, the intersection of commercial acumen and "art" in popular music, the Clique Club opened its doors and let the mob in.

Fortunately, however, architects noted in Widener's cavernous cellar and broad roof an admirable location for bulky air-conditioning machinery. They also pointed out that the great lengths of pipe needed for the Widener location of equipment is still far cheaper than adding 1000 square feet of space to Lamont's basement...
