A Mediterranean Makover

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. Now, well, we can spot several influences: some Spanish tile for the roof; a stucco-looking facade reminiscent of Greece; coral-colored Doric-ish columns, and those mini-balustrades. Looks from this DOB file that they added height and depth to the building back in 2007, and decided to make it stand out from its neighbors as well. Your reviews? GMAP

Biff, stop it, seriously. no more liquid needs to come out of my nose today. You’re my gyro…oh, lord, you’re on fire today.

DIBS…I’m going to defend architects here for one sec.
That could be the filing architect. The one that signed and sealed the drawings and filed the job…not necessarily the one that designed it.
It’s done all the time. Not all architects are licensed in NYC and use licensed ones to sign their drawings and paperwork.
Okay, back to Mykonos!
good one zeebee!!
So many food choices…and now fast food.
Mediterranean influence? All I see is White Castle.
Sam,
I had a Hummus and roasted eggplant sandwich for lunch since I was so inspired. Should I have had a curry lamb roti instead?
