LATITUDE33 MAGAZINE: Symphony Townhouse: A Neo-Georgian Marvel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side On East 64th Street, amid the storied elegance of the Upper East Side, stands a residence unlike any other—a property that doesn’t simply belong to New York’s architectural history but defines it. The Symphony Townhouse, an exquisite neo-Georgian masterpiece, has returned to the market with an asking price of $15.995 million. Its 8,000 square feet of meticulously curated interiors and storied past set it apart as one of the city’s most extraordinary homes. Stepping into this townhouse is like stepping into another time, a world of refined elegance that feels straight out of Downton Abbey. But make no mistake: this isn’t a relic. The Symphony Townhouse is a living, breathing blend of history and modern luxury, a home made for those who appreciate the art of living beautifully. Constructed in 1872 by architect John Prague, the townhouse’s original Victorian architecture has evolved through transformative renovations. In 1991, current owner Kenneth Laub, a real estate broker turned composer, oversaw a meticulous restoration that reimagined the property’s potential. With the help of architect R.D. Graham, its brick and limestone facade was elevated to neo-Georgian splendor, earning recommendations for national landmark status. Laub didn’t just renovate; he redefined the townhouse experience, pushing the property’s boundaries both architecturally and aesthetically. Additions include an expansive rooftop terrace, a dazzling atrium bar, and interiors brimming with museum-quality antiques.

YEAR-END REVIEW: #AIFamous by Artificial Andy Warhol In 2025, as #AI reshaped our creative worlds, the landscape felt both expansive and uncertain. Our year-end review captures a moment in time where the balance between innovation and authenticity was constantly tested in Twenty-Four. Here’s a look at how this year unfolded—and what it means for our collective futures from special WORKHOUSE correspondent Artificial Andy Warhol. "In the future, everyone will be #AI-Famous. Not for 15 minutes, but for 15 seconds, and then another 15, and another—looped forever by the machines. Fame won’t mean you’ve made it; it’ll mean you’ve been processed. Everyone will have their moment because moments will be all that’s left—fleeting, pixelated, and curated by code. No one will remember who you are, but the algorithm will, and maybe that’s the same thing. Fame won’t belong to you; it’ll belong to the feed. Your best angles, your cleverest thoughts, all stitched together by a machine that understands you better than you do—except it doesn’t care. Fame will be effortless and meaningless, a million versions of you scrolling by, faster than you can scroll past everyone else. The AI won’t just make you famous; it’ll make everyone famous at once, and when everyone’s famous, no one really is. You won’t chase your 15 minutes—they’ll chase you, and when they catch you, they’ll already be gone." -  Artificial Andy Warhol, 12/18/24 As Workhouse closes the chapter on 2024, we’re reminded that while an algorithm may well shape this moment, it’s the human spirit that defines the meaning. In a world racing toward automation, authenticity remains our most enduring legacy. The future may belong to the machines, but the stories that last will always belong to us. Here’s to a new year of creating what can’t be coded.

NEW YORK TIMES: Tackling the Difficult Subject at the Heart of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ A festival devoted to the film usually focuses on its comforting message. This year, it also underscored suicide prevention. Every year in Seneca Falls, N.Y., a festival celebrates “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Frank Capra’s heartwarming 1946 drama about the trials and triumphs of a family man named George Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart in a beloved role. Thousands of visitors descend on the hamlet, which local boosters say bears a striking resemblance to Bedford Falls, the Bailey family’s charming and tight-knit hometown. The festivalgoers can meet cast members or, as they did this year, attend a dance at a local high school gymnasium that hopefully won’t end like the film’s comically disastrous one does, with decked-out revelers cannonballing into a swimming pool. But this year’s event, which ran through Sunday, emphasized, more than it has since it began in the ’90s, a significant turning point in the film’s otherwise heartwarming message — a moment that some people might not want to dwell on in December when “It’s a Wonderful Life” is their comfort and joy. It comes down to this: “It’s a Wonderful Life” is achingly, yet redemptively, a movie in which a man almost dies by suicide.

KRESKIN: January 12, 1935 - December 10 2024 The Amazing Kreskin defied explanation. For more than six decades, he wasn’t just a mind-blowing mentalist, or a popular performer—he was proof that the human mind, when unshackled, could touch the infinite. He didn’t rely on showmanship or spectacle. Kreskin had something more powerful: an unrelenting belief in wonder. At WORKHOUSE, we were not only fortunate to call him a client, but more so, a collaborator in awe. He challenged the limits of what we dared to believe and reminded us, time and again, that mystery was a gift, not a puzzle to be solved. He once said, ‘Curiosity is the greatest magic trick of all.’ Kreskin made us curious, left us astonished, and reminded us that magic is a gift we should never lose.

Dominican Joe Foundation’s 12th Annual ‘Getaway and Give’ Backed by TheHomeMag For over a decade, THM Media™ has been more than a leader in home improvement media; it has been a partner in fostering education for underprivileged youth in the Dominican Republic. Its enduring support of the Dominican Joe Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to improving literacy and education—has helped transform a vision into a thriving reality. This March, that partnership takes center stage at the foundation’s 12th Annual “Getaway and Give” weekend, an event that merges celebration with purpose and underscores the life-changing power of education.The event, held from March 13 to March 15, 2025, in Santo Domingo and Las Terrenas, is more than a philanthropic retreat. It is an opportunity to witness firsthand the impact of efforts to create educational opportunities where there were none before. Attendees, including longtime supporters like TheHomeMag’s founders, Sean and Debbie Campbell, will celebrate the foundation’s successes while laying the groundwork for its future. The DOMINICAN JOE FOUNDATION INC began with a single observation that changed everything. In 2006, Salvatore Joseph Rizzo, an American visitor to Las Terrenas, noticed children playing in the streets during school hours. When he asked why, the answer revealed a grim reality: the local school was too full to accommodate them. Rizzo decided to act, starting a small school with just five students. Today, that school serves 265 children from kindergarten through high school, with 16 college scholars pursuing degrees both in the Dominican Republic and abroad. TheHomeMag became involved early in the foundation’s journey, providing critical support that enabled the school to grow. Its contributions ranged from securing property for classrooms to sponsoring a full slate of students. With TheHomeMag’s help, the school expanded from its original seven students to its current capacity, ensuring that hundreds of children now have access to a high-quality education.
