Back in Time, June 7: Baron Brothers and Commercial Trust and Savings Bank
Jun. 7—The Commercial Trust and Savings Bank was built at 222 N. Main St. as a two-story wood structure and opened on Jan. 6, 1897. Harold Kibbee Sr., an early pioneer banker served as cashier and president of the Commercial Trust and Savings Bank for 51 years. The two-story building was moved to the back of the lot in 1906 to make room for a new building (shown in photo). The bank moved to 208 E. Third Ave. in 1961. In 1999, the bank was sold to First National Bank of South Dakota. Known as the Realty Building, this building at 300 N. Main St. was housed by the Baron Brothers Dry Goods Store and Peterson's Hardware Store. Woolworth's opened at this location on Nov. 25, 1916. On Aug. 7, 1940, a fire destroyed the interior of the store. Baron Brothers moved to the old Piggly Wiggly building in 1959 so that Woolworth's could expand. Numerous doctors and dentist offices were on the second floor while the third floor contained apartments. — Researcher Pam Range

Sage + Sound
Welcome to the second iteration of Vogue's global spa guide, an index of the 100 best spas in the world, built from the expertise of our global editors and trusted contributors. There is a lot to choose from in the world of wellness, and no matter how far you're planning to travel—from a subway ride to a trans-Atlantic flight—we want to make sure it's worth the journey. Whatever your path, let us be your guide. Why go here? Uptown has a reputation for stuffiness (let's be generous and call it an old-school vibe), but Sage + Sound brings decidedly new energy to its zip code. An airy retreat on an otherwise nondescript stretch of Third Avenue, the spa boasts both a delightfully woo-woo menu of services and an expertly trained staff that seems to have relaxation down to a science. Treatment rooms are spacious and kept at womb-like temperatures. A small retail area has a curated selection of every status skin-care and hair product you've been tempted to spend a small fortune on. And nontoxic nail salon Sundays maintains a connected storefront for manicures and pedicures. There are nice spas with small menus of snacks to nibble on after massages. And then there's Sage + Sound, where the Isle of Us marketplace and café is so good that I would go back just to eat lunch. If I could have the salmon rice bowl every day, I would. Photo: Courtesy of Sage + Sound What's the vibe? A mystical members' club, with no actual membership required. The clinical warmth of an upscale therapist's office, coupled with the chi-chi quiet opulence of a tasteful boutique. This isn't just about unwinding; it's a place for spiritual transformation. In addition to its extensive treatment offerings, Sage + Sound also programs a full curriculum of classes, experiences, and workshops in a zone that cofounders Lacey Tisch and Lauren Zucker call 'the study.' There's meditation for calm, a 'clearing ritual' that's designed to 'rejuvenate energy fields,' and breathwork and fascia release sessions for clarity and balance. Nonbelievers can get an absurdly luxurious massage and call it a day. But those with goop-ier tendencies will feel especially catered to, and Tisch and Zucker confirm that friendships have formed in their workshops. When Sage + Sound was under construction, Tisch and Zucker buried crystals beneath the floorboards. Photo: Courtesy of Sage + Sound The history? Tisch and Zucker founded Sage + Sound in 2022 to offer a holistic approach to a crowded field, bringing massage therapists, facialists, life coaches, and all manner of expert practitioners under one roof. Whatever your definition of wellness, they want to satisfy it. 'We wanted to create a space where our ideas about wellness and other people's ideas of wellness could be honored in a way that is also elevated,' Tisch says. 'Especially after the pandemic, we knew people were looking for a space where they could socialize and be back in community.' Photo: Courtesy of Sage + Sound What should you try? The standards are all hits here. Facials use an exquisite sequence of Biologique Recherche products and high-tech devices (seek out the Platinum Facial to pull out all the stops). Deep-tissue massages are performed with true-to-their-name muscle. But branch out and be rewarded. Experiencing Thai massage—performed while you're fully clothed and utilizing stretching, pulling, and pressing motions—is like the most intense yoga class you've ever been to. Lymphatic drainage massages are chased with a session in a solo sauna for maximum healing and release. How environmentally friendly is it? You know a place that offers hypnotherapy is not trading in single-use plastic. The spa was constructed with eco-friendly building materials, and the cafe is stocked with compostable utensils. Photo: Courtesy of Sage + Sound What else do we need to know? Thoughtful touches abound. At Sundays, the nail studio, towels are heated and basins are movable, so they can be thoroughly and squeakily cleaned. Instead of having you slide beneath a thin sheet for your facial, Sage + Sound performs it while you're wrapped in a cloud-like duvet. It was so luxe and fluffy that it made me seriously reconsider my bedding at home. Good news for the tristate area: Tisch and Zucker are expanding to Connecticut. Who can go? Anyone and everyone. Bring your most psychically attuned friend—and an open mind. Booking details for Sage + Sound Address: 1481 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10028 Read more from Vogue's Global Spa Guide.

The 2025 Awards were presented for the Fund's performance over the three-year and five-year period ended December 31, 2024² and mark the seventh time the Third Avenue Real Estate team has been recognized by LSEG Lipper in the Best Global Real Estate Fund category.³ "We are honored to receive recognition from LSEG Lipper for delivering sector-leading results to the investors in the Third Avenue Real Estate Value UCITS Fund," said Ryan Dobratz, Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund.

'The Fund's long-term results reflect Third Avenue's unique approach to listed real estate,' added Jason Wolf, Co-Portfolio Manager of the Fund. 'As we've done since 1998, we will continue to identify and invest in well-capitalized and well-managed enterprises that trade at a discount to our estimate of net-asset value—irrespective of whether they are included in a benchmark. We believe such a combination is the key to generating superior long-term results.'
