Entranceway
West face
Corner column decoration
The two features that caught my eye on this building were the entranceway on 77th street, and the tiny pillars in the windows of the top floor. Also shown is the detail on the 1st story pillars.
Street: 77th Street
Extension above the ave
I think the juxtaposition of this stately old building and the offset extension is interesting. This is the “On the Ave” hotel.
Full facade
Upper story detail
This building is quite a trip. The monstrous white pilasters and corbels are in contrast to jet-black oriel windows and an otherwise completely undecorated facade (although that generally implies the facade was redone and the decoration removed). A mansard and hood arches, mullions and dormer windows. A long balcony and ornamentation. Is there anything this building doesn’t have?
