On the corner of west 58th street and 7th avenue stands one of New Yorks most elaborate terra cotta facaded buildings. A flamboyant profusion of details covers the appartment building in a French Renaissance style. In 1910, when it was completed, the building had only two large apartments (with 14 rooms and 5 baths each) per floor, with carved Caen stone, marble and fine wood paneling.

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
