About this audio guide
This guide to Madison Square Garden opens on a June night in 1906, when architect Stanford White sat in the audience of a rooftop theater he had designed himself. It traces White's earlier version of the Garden, the pleasure palace he built on Madison Square where fashionable New Yorkers came to drink champagne and watch musical revues, and the love triangle involving his young protegee Evelyn Nesbit and her husband, the millionaire heir Harry Thaw. The arena you're standing in today is the fourth building to carry the Garden's name.
