The swanky 10-story Midtown apartment house at 51 St. didn’t exactly scream ‘murder’ when you strolled by. In fact, it was home to a glamorous celebrity couple of the stage and screen living the high life during the Roaring Twenties. However, on a warm June 9th in 1929 when shrieks were heard coming from the building, the NYPD didn’t expect to find a Broadway star laying dead in her bed. This is the tragic murder of Margaret Lawrence.
