Dedicated to an era long gone featuring architectural photographs of houses, hotels, apartment and office buildings, civic institutions and more...many of which are no longer standing.

The street level is superb--the quality of the pilasters, the frieze above the windows---control and proportion, a sure eye for detail.
I can understand adding the extra floors in the early 1960s, but what a shame to lose the wonderfully proportioned detailing of this building, a great example of scale.
