It’s stunning. Stern is amazing!
Classical architecture never fails to please everyone. Take a look at the two modernist tall condo towers flanking this building to the left/right: they are both done by Star Architectural firms - both fall flat in comparison to this RAM beauty.
The two plain-Jane neighbors serve as the perfect foil to enhance the stand out beauty of this building.
A very nice building. It reminds me of the stone facades of the skyscrapers around 1910.
Hudson Terminal Building
This brick looks better in fall/winter light. Nice windows.
He’s showing us how it’s done!
This building has a good scale.

West Chelsea is finally starting to get built up, like Riverside Drive.
It’s amazing how that formerly crappy area has become so nice!
Even when it was crappy it had pockets of wealth. Go figure!
I’m really focusing on 11th/12th Ave. It was terrible 20 years ago, let alone 30 years ago, and now, it’s beautiful.

But it was a helluva a lot of fun 40 years ago.
Lord have mercy!
