These two faces at the entrance don’t look too inviting.
Hmm…

Looking up at some of the old buildings. Artistic.
They don’t building ‘em like they used to.

Pigeons

No one lives, any longer, in this beautifully-designed building, which has seen better days. After a fire many years ago, it was never renovated. I remember that a lot of families were displaced after the fire. The only signs of life you will now see, near the building, are the pigeons. They hang out in the front of the building, seemingly unnoticed by people walking past, below.

The Shell

Every time I pass by this building, I stop to admire its facade, mainly the top.
I love the design with the shell on the top.
It’s an old building and I’m guessing that it is a walk-up building, no elevator, six stories high.
I love the simple design on the building. They don’t build ‘em like they used to anymore.

Harlem Architecture

There are a lot of richly-designed buildings in Harlem with wonderful details.
You’ll notice them when you take a moment to look up.
You don’t see details like this on buildings anymore.
