__NOTOC__ The Alwyn Court is a 12-story apartment building located at 180 West 58th Street on the corner of Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, one block south of Central Park. It was built between 1907 and 1909, and was designed by Harde & Short in French Renaissance style, with elaborate terra-cotta ornamentation in the Francis I style covering the entire facade.〔, p.126〕 The interior courtyard has a painted architectural facade by artist Richard Haas.〔 The building was constructed with 14-room 5-bathroom apartments which were subdivided during the Depression.〔〔Alpern, Andrew. ''Luxury Apartment Houses of Manhattan: An Illustrated History''. New York: Dover, 1992.〕 Although the interior has changed over time, the exterior, with its intricate terra-cotta decoration, has largely remained unchanged. The facade was cleaned and restored in 1980-81 by Beyer Blinder Belle.〔, p.269〕 The Alwyn Court was designated a New York landmark in 1966 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. ==Gallery== File:Alwyn Court 3.jpg|Entrance to Petrossian File:Alwyn salamander jeh crop.jpg|Detail over doorway 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alwyn Court」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
