NYC Facades

Note the paneled cornice

Many of the features on this building are unusual: the cornice on most buildings is a frieze, whereas this one is decidedly not; it has quions, which are unusual for the Upper West Side, it has decorative brickerwork (in the middle windows, as well as long horizontal sections beneath that); pilasters and archways; a deep red color.

Grand decorations

The horizontal surrounding the leaves on the middle floor on the bottom picture look like they are shaded in a comic book. Note the great ornaments in the center and corbels on the sides.
