November 3, 2009. After leaving the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we were walking south on 5th Avenue and came across this little gem at 79th Street. Ensconced in its own little garden, still in bloom, this vertical home belongs in this spot. Not as lyrical as Nevelson, but still reminiscent of style, this is filled with more whimsy, and is probably more accessible to people passing by. It’s themes of domesticity and community resonates easily in a residential community and welcome people to engage it on its own terms.
