Christopher Street Station art viewing ~
“The Providers” mosaic, September 26, 2012
There’s a great series of mosaics along the platform of the Christopher St. Subway station, all about the history of Greenwich Village. They’re images in the categories “The Founders,” “The Providers,” and “The Rebels.” This one is of “The Providers.” Check out the cute railway track upper and lower borders!

Gift-wrapped apartment building, September 25, 2012
This apartment building (across the street from 7-13 Washington Square N) looks so pretty in blue! It’s just tyvek covering, though, there while it’s masonry is being worked on . . . (noisily!).

It’s officially autumn, but the view from this urban cottage window is still quite green and summery looking. Stay tuned for a photo of this view a month from now . . . it’ll be different!
Gothic NYC, #1
Church spires illuminated, September 21, 2012
The Middle Collegiate Church on 2nd Avenue near 7th St. My American Institute of Architects Guide to New York City says this church was built in 1892. And . . .
The church is rock-faced granite dressed with smooth, from the sidewalk to the very tip of the spire. All windows are by Tiffany.
The next time I’m over this way, I should try to drop in!
