Old NYC: The Bauodouine Building

How many buildings in New York (or anywhere else) have a Greek-Roman temple on top of it?

Well, apparently the  The Bauodouine Building does!
What a piece of art, kinda hidden in the Flatiron area...


Pass by this building almost every day going to work... Love it...




The Bauodouine Building at 1181-1183 Broadway (also known as 22 West 28th Street) at the corner of West 28th Street in the NoMad neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, was built in 1895-96 and was designed by Alfred Zucker in the Classical Revival style. It was a store and office tower which replaced a hotel, and is topped by a Greco-Roman temple. The building lies within the Madison Square North Historic District.
