The WMF Gallery was carved out of part of the former Prince George Hotel (now a supportive housing facility of commonground.org). The Gallery serves as the entrance to the Prince George Ballroom, a stunning Beaux Arts space that was renovated by Beyer, Blinder, Belle. Check WMF website www.wmf.org for gallery hours and exhibitions.

This is a preserved relic of the past that not many have seen. It's an incredible space luckily protected as part of the Madison Square Historic District and Common Ground has committed to preserving much of the interior. For more information, see: www.wmf.org/gallery and www.princegeorgeballroom.org
