☞ REMEMBER: Murals on Fifth circa 1930

An old photo from 1930 shows a luxury Fifth Avenue apartment facing Fifth Avenue and the distinct decorative details found within.  This location is actually between 101st and 102nd Street on the east side and is considered East Harlem but the wealth of its residents is apparent through the details of the interior.  Stone flooring covers this apartment hallway with an intricate mural painted along its walls and leaded glass decorating the windows.  Today this building still stands but it is unclear if any of these original details remain.
