I spent a ridiculous amount of time on photos of this building -- built in 1929 at 41st & Broadway -- and wound up with just these five.
Still, it is an odd and interesting building.
The vertical ribs and color hold all the shifting brick & tile patterns together, and light bouncing off the windows adds life.
