That thing has been on the market for 20 years - its about time he stops milking this place for attention.
This has been an on-again-off-again piece on the market since the early 90s when its owner Michael Halberian first wanted the Queens Historical Society to "take it off his hands" for the "right price".
This old Manhattan restaurateur ("Knickerbockers") he's been crying "too high" real estate taxes on the property forever.
H-m-m-m...what did he do with all those 1970s profits?

Maybe fellow Armenian Chuck Apelian will buy it with the profit he makes for approving "Flushing Commons"!
Have you ever met a poor Armenian?
I haven't.

its astoria. get a mortgage from one of the local 'banks' and add some 'extensions' on to it. complain and give landmarking a bad name, etc.

Is that a bathtub in the wine celler WTF ?
I think the owner intended to open a restaurant in the basement...complete with p anels
The "bathtub" is a Greco/Roman (LOL) where private parties with party girls (or boys?) might (?) play???
You know those horny Armenians...always on the prowl...they'd fuck a rock if nothing else was available (LOL)!
Ooops...should have read (lost in transmission) "Complete with booths separated by stained glass panels".
Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Gujarati Parsees - they are the "First Ones" of "Babylon Five".
