More snow, more scenes. This time east of Broad St.
Beginning my career years, book and magazine
publishers surrounded Washington Square.
The Curtis building, north side of the Square.
The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal
and Jack & Jill used to live here. Converted to
offices. Always reminds me of the north side of
London's Grosvenor Sq.
The old J. B. Lippincott building.
Converted to loft style condos.
How appropriate and fun for a book Illustrator and Author to live in the
former publishing house.
Had my name on it perhaps, but not
my "number" $$$$.
Next door, former Mayor Richardson Dillworth's
colonial style home. Built in the 1950's and the
object of dispute whether to save or demolish.
To the left, The Atheneum, a special collections
library focusing on history. For more info:

Goings on over head.
Look carefully, be rewarded.
Find some one enjoying a snack
over head.
