The Turrets of New York — and the People Who Inhabit Them
The outside of an Upper West Side turret. Photo: Paul Warchol A survey of the turrets about town — the city’s tiny medieval towers on the Upper West Side, in Crown Heights, and on Staten Island. “When we moved in, we had to have almost all of the furniture built specially for the space — circular bookshelves, a special curved couch. The couch is comfortable enough to sleep on, so sometimes our guests stay up there. For them, we also had these special shades built for the porthole windows. They are freestanding, sort of like pillows you can fit into the window. There was a deck already built off the second floor of the thing, but we had long grass put in and bought a couple of lounge chairs.

13 New York Buildings That Stick Out Like Sore Thumbs
349 W. 86th St., Upper West Side. Photo: David Leventi Walking around the city, one often encounters architectural anomalies: a glassy, undulating Gehry, say, or an alley of colorful Greek Revivals. But there are certain outliers that are so jarring, looking as if they’ve been plopped down from outer space or transported from rural Nebraska, they make you stop and wonder how they got there in the first place. In some cases, it’s because the owners refused to sell a centuries-old building to developers; in others, it’s because they spent years finagling a wacky façade past the Landmarks Preservation Commission — just a few months ago, in fact, a subdued Tribeca townhouse debuted a twisty, flamelike new exterior. Sometimes, though, it’s more simple: The owners just decided they wanted to paint their Upper West Side brownstone a startling azure. Tiny Amid Huge 349 W. 86th St., Upper West Side (pictured above) 19 W. 46th St., Times Square 124 … [Read more...] about 13 New York Buildings That Stick Out Like Sore Thumbs
