REMEMBER: CONICAL ROOF AT THE COMFORT STATION

Harlem Bespoke: An archival photo from NPYL shows a lost architectural detail that used to be found alongside Riverside Park. These circular comfort stations still exist today but no longer have columns and the overhead tiled conical roofs.  The above photo is the one located at around 152nd Street and still provides a nice view of the Hudson River but some of the original beauty of the structure has since been lost.
