ARCHITECTURE: MOTHER OF DRAGONS IN HARLEM


Harlem Bespoke:  Dragon motifs on classic brownstones can be found if one looks close enough but a lady and a dragon is one rare find.  Game of Thrones fans will be able to relate to one such historic work of art on a Mount Morris Park brownstone which shows a young woman surrounded by the mythical beast.  Most historic dragon references in artwork usually has St. George fighting the fearsome brute but the opposite gender taming this fire-breathing behemoth is more than somewhat unusual.  We are not sure what the reference is actually about but featuring this unique architectural element seemed apropos for the last season of GOT.
