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.

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.
