Author and blogger, I write about the back-stories of Manhattan buildings and monuments that make a fascinating city even more so.
Designed by Ralph S. Townsend, the interior elements of this #UpperWestSide were stored during a renovation in the 1960s. They were meticulously restored in the early 2000s.

Transformed from an 1883 brownstone to Colonial Revival by Albro & Lindeberg in 1905, 62 E 80 was home to chemical warfare expert Joaquin Zanetti in the 1920s. It is still a single family home.

Once home to wealthy families, this #Chelsea townhouse became Chelsea House--a home for single working women--in 1904. Today it holds 9 apts.

Built as a high-stooped brownstone in 1886, 10 E 78th got a stoic brick facade in 1946, and a remarkable neo-Beaux Arts front in 2018.
