This is a photo of the Belnord a full-block apartment building on the upper west side. It has a garden on the inner courtyard side that was originally designed for carriages to pull up inside. The smaller building at right is a Presbyterian church, now a landmarked historic building.Thursday, July 28, 2011

Wow! A block-wide apartment building?!? Compared to the church, the building is huge!
j'aime la lumiere qui tombe sur les batiments et cette eglise qui casse les batiments
grizinalNY Times article,(in 1908) "The 175-unit Belnord was promoted as the largest multiple dwelling in the world. Apartments ranged from 8 to 14 rooms, with rents of $175 to $500 a month, high for the period." That courtyard was one of the largest in the city, too!
