With the photos, I finally understand what was going on here.
How is this controversial? Man, people will complain about anything, won’t they?
Or playing Jenga.
dave, what we are seeing in the second window is the “needling” steel that is put in prior to the lintel. The whole operation is like taking cans from the center of a giant stack. One false move and the whole pile can land on your head.
This is news? Leave the person alone. It’s irresponsible to be posting pictures of her house. Would Brownstoner like it if some other blog posted pictures of his house?
It’s noteworthy, and worthy of comments because of the landmarks issue and the extent of construction. Who it belongs to is of no concern to me.
It’s also an interesting project to follow.
Surely there is something more interesting and less star-stalkingesque to post.
Leave poor Norah alone!!
painted brick which is not unusual in the neighborhood.
Perhaps the “crap” comment was over the top. That said, if the owner is doing an extensive restoration shouldn’t the facade be returned to the original exposed brick with the brownstone lintels?
It certainly doesn’t look like paint from any of the pics. Maybe it isn’t stucco per se but it does look like a topcoat of some mortar-based material over the brick, generically referred to as “stucco.”
Personally I’m all for the owner wanting the side windows. As lonh as they look historically appropriate to the design and age of the building.
They were approved by LPC apparently so if they look bad or out of context, LPC is to blame.
I wonder why there’s no scaffolding???
