The tenants of 20 Henry spent a great deal of time and money maintaining that garden. The courtyard design was arguably not the most attractive thing ever, but we made the best with what we had to work with. Only since the tenants were all evicted a few years ago has the garden fallen into disrepair.

I love the paint color - would you mind saying what it is?

10:38, you or someone else brings up the fact that an architect and an attorney were among the tenants at 20 Henry Street every time the subject comes up. It is not the fault of the other former residents of 20 Henry who were artists that the landlord decided to rent to people who were not.

Having spent 20 years living in that building, I can attest to the fact that the majority of residents were in the arts and most of those who were not (for instance, my neighbor who worked in the tunnels for the MTA)were working or middle class. Anyway, since the rents were subsidized by the government according to income, if those tenants who you complain about were in a higher income bracket, then they paid higher rents.
