The Stanford White Murder & NYC's First "Crime of the Century"

What a Creep<br />Season 17, Episode 4<br />The Murder of Stanford White<br /><br />Architect Stanford White was one of New York’s most revered architects who built the second Madison Square Garden & the Washington Square Arch, which stand today. In public, he was a bon vivant who moved with old school wealthy and the nouveau riche. He was also a creep who participated in the sexual assault of several young women as part of a group of entitled men in New York’s high society. A Creep, Harry Thaw, killed him on June 25, 1906, because of one such assault on actress Evelyn Nesbit who was 16. <br /><br />The trials of Harry Thaw caught the nation’s interest and are a part of NYC lore. In this episode, we will discuss the major players and what happened to Evelyn after she outlived the Creeps. <br /><br />Trigger warning: Sexual assault and abuse<br /><br />Sources for this episode: <br />Death of Stanford White Wiki<br />Avenue Magazine<br />Town & Country Magazine<br />Famous Trials.com<br />PBS American Experience<br />The New York Times Archives<br />House Beautiful<br />The Girl on the Velvet Swing by Simon Baatz<br /><br />And for our non-creep: One of the strongest hurricanes to ever hit the United States and Cuba this week.
