That corn...Enjoying your site very much, thank you!<br />That corner bay window is amazing, and not even noticeable beyond the property; a sort of<br />private whimsicality. It seems almost like a witch's hat disappearing into the eave.<br /><br />I have surmised that a great deal of this<br />almost theatrical detail and wit is due not just to Ware,as well as his general contractors Mead & Taft, but also in particular his head draftsmen of the 1880-90's, Harde & Short,<br />who went on to establish their own firm after<br />the turn of the century; best remembered today for midtown's Alwyn Court, R Thomas Short<br />went on to become a pre-eminent designer of <br />cinemas in the tristate area.<br /><br />Your posts, and even more your essays in the<br />Independent are always something to look forward to ! thanks, --PatrickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170852285107502075.post-328240044858491932011-05-02T07:29:42.520-07:002011-05-02T07:29:42.520-07:00That gable is halfway to Frank Gehry.
