Ok- I really don’t know what building this is buy I love the clock

I know this is a Tiffany clock but I don’t remember the story
The street where this lives is now called Park Avenue South, so this building is Pre 1959

I blogged a few weeks ago about my neighborhood and how it’s becoming a tourist spot. I don’t mind if tourists visit- I just want them to look up and around when they get to the Harry Potter store. These are some views from my area. Enjoy!
  1. So I walked around my neighborhood and snapped a few pictures…
  2. My second favorite winter food is Thai curry- this was a delicious green curry with chicken
  3. Galleries 163 and 164 at the Met are Greek BC- the work is just beautiful. Gallery 233 is a special exhibit: Shell and Resin: Korean Mother of Pearl and Lacquer. This was another small but well curated and beautiful exhibit. The pieces are just spectacular.
  4. TV this week includes the return of Masterpiece: Around the World in 80 Days, All Creatures Great and Small and Vienna Blood. All wonderful!!!

      4. My friend started me on it the other day. The upside is that there’s only one word a day, so you can’t go down the rabbit hole and waste a day…just a few minutes ..

  6. My maternal grandmother had a lacquered MOP chest that she kept all her jewelry in. When we visited her I loved going into her bedroom, looking at and touching the chest and trying on her jewelry!

  12. I love the building photos. My husband had a client who died recently, but her dad was an owner of the Empire State Building. It was a partnership of some sort. She inherited his shares. I thought it would be so fascinating to be able to say “I own the Empire State Building.”
