Cass Gilbert, 1898-This house is "another of what might be called picturesque symmetry. Here, the arcaded loggia evokes the Venetian Renaissance while the central dormer above strikes a medieval pose with its steeply pitched roof and Gothic bargeboards. Now divided into five condominiums, the house was originally owned by Crawford Livingston, Jr., whose buisiness interests included utilities and railroads.
encore une tres belle maison
ReplyDeleteOf the five parts I'd like the one with that dormer!
ReplyDeleteThat's a BIG house if they carved it into FIVE condos!
ReplyDeleteThere are such great homes in that neighborhood!
ReplyDeletePerhaps the residents of the dormer are rebelling against the perfect symmetry of the architecture. They left one blind up and one blind down.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful house with fantastic details!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes! I hope you thoroughly enjoy your own birthday week!
I love that window. It must be fun to live in an historic building like that.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we put dormers like that on our homes any more? They are so lovely to look at.
ReplyDeleteWhy does this remind me of a country song ... something about shadows on a wall?
ReplyDeleteIt's very nice and I can imagine the condos are especially nice.
