According to the Pevsner guide, the Christian Institute was built as a post office, James Gillespie & Scott, 1891-2. The corner building âa late Georgian tenement dressed up in the 1920s with Tudor detail Ă la Libertysâ.
They are both very cute! Has Michael raised her since she was a kitten, or is he younger? He looks rather like our Ninja, who has three white patches on her chest and belly.
Oooh! The Tenement Museum! I like the Getty, but it isn't a "favorite" in the sense that I feel compelled to go there every time in LA. Always enjoy it when I do trek up the hill, though.
List 3 of your Favorite Museums: 1) Mob Museum, Las Vegas: perfect location and very interactive 2) Getty Museum, Los Angeles: Iconic building and collections 3) Tenement Museum, NYC: A unique glimpse into the past. (Holy cow, this is hard! I love museums)
The Tenement Museum (NYC) Cleveland Museum of Art (so many gems, just the right size and NOT crowded) FIT Museum of Fashion Bottle Museum in Ballston Spa, NY (just wonderful)
Our tenements shared garden is awful and I'm currently arranging for it to be cleared out because it's grim af. Anyway my neighbour from the tenement next door told me that we have rats in the garden. So this mf only dreamed of rats last night, but cute ones that were my buddies and wore clothes.
* Kentucky Horse Park (see how much bigger Man O'War was than Secretariat!) * Autry Museum of the American West (perfect size, best place to see avant-garde Indigenous art) * Tenement Museum (immigrants, we get the job done! And you have to walk past Russ & Daughters to get to the subway :))
Can't stop at three. - The Frick Collection, NYC. Better art than the Met, collected by the most evil man of the Gilded Age. As Daniel Pinkwater says, it's not huge but every work of art is perfect. - Cable Car Museum and Powerhouse, San Francisco. - Tenement Museum, NYC.
