John W. Campbell (financier)

He kept an office at Grand Central Terminal in New York City, which was later converted into a bar called the Campbell Apartment, a gathering spot for commuters and others after work.

He married the former Rosalind D. Casanave, nicknamed Princess, who was once listed in The New York Times as a "patroness" of a "Monte Carlo party and dance" at the Westchester Country Club.

[1] Like other successful tycoons of the day, Campbell demanded a grand office, one convenient to his clients and close to the railroad so he could commute, first from a nearby apartment at 270 Park Avenue, and later, from the Westchester Country Club to the north.

In 1923, Campbell commissioned Augustus N. Allen, an architect known for designing estates on Long Island and townhouses in Manhattan, to build an office in the leased space in Grand Central.

Campbell added a piano and pipe organ, and at night turned his office into a reception hall, entertaining 50 or 60 friends who came to hear famous musicians play private recitals.
