This one is limestone & a block north of the Guggenheim facing on 5th to
the park.
Is this the Upper East Side or some other designation and I got my
geography skewed?
Heavenly Rest. I sure hope they are Episcopalian after my sounding off
on Gibson's Passion the other day.
I'm curious about the building.
I've never seen the Donald there... just rumors of a ghost. We all know
religion can be worn like an old coat.
The first time I visited was not too long after the organ had caught on
fire... which did an interesting job on the limestone.
