The downtown club Building might have been based out of a former Con Ed facility, but back in 1989, it was the place to be for everyone from the big names in hip-hop – think Q-Tip, Fab 5 Freddy, Russell Simmons – not to mention Naomi Campbell, Mike Tyson, Chris Rock, and Judy Blame. The clientele may have been varied, but all had one thing in common: A Polaroid in the club’s membership book, which is now in the hands of the Standard, the current party place of employment for Building’s former owner, Howard Schaffer. Get an exclusive look at them all in the good ole days, here.
