Bathroom Tile Exterior in Greenwood Heights
The South Slope and Greenwood Heights have been ground-zero for some of the worst kinds of architectural experimentation in recent years, so it was with little surprise that we opened a tipster email to find this photo of a recently-completed facade on 19th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues that’s composed of, you guessed it,…

An OT regular even went up and touched the facade to confirm. There’s a full-length photo on the jump.
“Or go live in Brooklyn and get your neighborhood landmarked.”
yes – because every house in a landmarked neighborhood is attractive and in a state of good repair.
OMG!!!!!!
OK, now how do you tell it’s bathroom tile? What’s the difference?
My last landlord, though, used exterior unglazed tile for the kitchen floor. Impossible to clean — unless you could wash it down with a hose.

it’s not THAT bad – would be alot better if there weren’t so many different colors of tile.
Didn’t we just all swooned over another building that was covered with black subway tile (no doubt of interior variety)?
Permastone is far worse, IMO.
At least there are no fedders boxes under every single window.
MM, it’s a real oddity in a brownstone ‘nabe. Every surface (well, it’s been years) was covered in what looked like small white bathroom floor tile (square), but I believe it was masonry grade and glazed. If it’s still standing, and not been reno’d, it’s worth checking out.
Perhaps Mr. B’s next house of the day…
Action Jackson, Thanks for the endorsement, but I’m not that good. I’m not familiar with the building. Sounds lovely…..
