We spotted this building on West 9th Street, near Smith, the other day. Before its makeover, it was just a humble but proud Italianate townhouse like its brothers and sisters on the block.

“GHB…where are they going to hitch their burro???”
I heard they received it from English royalty. They call it the Queen’s burro.
