The Bronx is packed with awesome example of this. Yeah, it’s an attractive building style if done right. The Bronx is packed with awesome example of this.

I remember that I did see several of these two-sided buildings up there. Good call on that one. Anon, I think MacDonough is a great block too. I know I must look like a tourist when I'm over there, because I spend more time looking up at each of the buildings and trying to see their exquisite details.

Macdonough in generally is a very pretty and architecturally diverse street. I live one block over and I never notice the windows on this one; You are right they are very cool.

My great-grandmother had a top floor apt like this in Belmont that was recessed from the rest of the floors, so she had a garden on the roof.
