☞ REMEMBER: Halcyon Hall circa 1910


A photo from 1910 shows one of the new buildings on Sugar Hill which was located between St. Nicholas and Convent Avenue at 150th Street.  We walked by this corner recently and noticed that everything was surprisingly still pretty much intact.  Only the intricate anthemion points at top cornice and the balcony balustrades have been removed but this beauty still stands over a century later.

    MsCiara, I thinks New Yorkers get so busy sometimes we often forget to look up and enjoy the beauty around us in the form of architecture!
