notes |
|
Winding back towards Broadway, I decided not to follow streets, but
monsters, and came across this building covered with nautical imagery.
The doorway is lined with larger square carved figures like the fish at
left, while if you come around the side of the building (which was in
the midst of being cleaned during my visit) you'll see a series of round
medallions like this seahorse, mermaids and more.
