In case you're wondering what that corner building is,see the link below.The 857 Broadway building in Manhattan was once a mansion belonging to a Robert Goelet who, with his brother Peter,inherited a large fortune from their father Peter P.Goelet after his death.The mansion,purchased by Peter Goelet,was built in 1846 and later given to Robert.The house originally had a masonry facade,but it was stripped in 1884 and given an up-to-date cast iron front.After the death of Robert in 1879,the building's bottom and top floors were converted into retail and office space where it had occupants like jewelers,a photography studio,and a mail-order business up until the the early 1900s.After suffering much neglect in the 20th century,the building was renovated in 2005 and given new life again.Today,the building is still used for retail with space on the first floor.The top floors can either be used for office or apartment rental.The Goelet family trace their NY roots back to a John Goelet,a Huguenot who came here in 1718 daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-1846-no-857-br...

Siendo de Zaragoza, pocas o casi ninguna foto he subido del "Pilar". Si bien captada en hora azul, el cielo ayuda mucho, ésta tiene un aire elegante, en una noche muy negra.

A wonderfully imaginative scene in the traditional Stein-Gasse in Salzburg with an imaginary window painted onto some electricity metre box while the real window beside looks rather drab and uninviting.
Happy Windows Wednesday!
