Church Missions House

Before it became the buzzy photography hub Fotografiska, 281 Park Avenue South, a.k.a. the historic Church Missions House, was Anna's white whale. She pulled all sorts of stunts to secure ownership of the building, with plans to ultimately turn it into the "Anna Delvey Foundation," a private social club slash "dynamic visual-arts center." Needless to say, it didn't work out for her.
