The building that Jim purchased at 117 East 69th Street to house his company took some time to renovate and furnish. The result was satisfying to Jim – he enjoyed hosting meetings and parties there and seeing his staff busily at work on the odd-shaped floors. The decorating efforts were lauded by all who visited and the final product was featured in a multi-page spread in Interior Design magazine three years after Jim started the plan with architect Peter Strauss.
