Square Park Two years later, the bandleader Patrick Gilmore bought the property, added statues and fountains, and renamed it Gilmore’s Gardens When Cornelius Vanderbilt bought the property in 1879, it was renamed Madison Square Garden A second very lavish Madison Square Garden was built at the same location in 1890, with a ballroom, a restaurant, a theater, a rooftop garden, and a main arena with seating for 15,000 However, this elaborate Madison Square Garden lasted until 1924 when it was torn down to make way for a forty-storey skyscraper When the second Madison Square Garden had been
