THE CHATWAL
History & Story
Before becoming The Chatwal, New York, the iconic Stanford White-designed building was the epicenter of American theater during the 20th century. It opened in 1905 as the home of the prestigious Lambs, the country’s first professional theatrical club.
Organized in 1874 by a group of actors and theatre enthusiasts, the Lambs occupied a series of rented quarters before settling at 44th Street. The club took its moniker from a similar group in London, which flourished from 1869-1879 and was named for British drama critic and essayist Charles Lamb. Bridging classic and contemporary like no other, landmark building The Chatwal, New York was built in 1905 by Stanford White, and in 2010, restored and renewed by master architect Thierry Despont.
