I wonder if the owners of that little red brick building did not want to sell the property; it seems odd that dilapidated structure did not get demolished and incorporated into ‘The Cortland’ project. If anyone know the back story on this; please do tell.
I noticed recently that the bay windows on the west 22nd street side are far more opulent looking than those same bay windows on the 23rd street side: on 23rd there are generic looking extruded aluminum window casings - not bad, but building standard.
These bay windows pictured on 22nd street look quite robust and ornate. It appears the bay window are clad in structural steel, with round head rivets as a decorative adornment. These bay windows look fantastic.
