At the northwest corner of 79th and Amsterdam, the architect Matt Markowitz
and Preserv, Inc., are finishing the installation of a new GFRC cornice on
the Amsterdam Avenue side of the 1907 Hotel Lucerne (To cousin Tom and other
outlanders: the Lucerne is a voluptuous, 1907 12 story hotel, plum colored
brick and terra cotta, highly modelled, design by Harry B. Mulliken).
The new cornice covers a bare patch made when the Amsterdam Avenue side of
teh cornice was ripped off perhaps 30 or 40 years ago. It matches - at least
visually - the original 1907 galvanized which survives in good condition on
the 79th Street side.
Question for you techies: assuming even maintenance, which one will need to
be replaced next - the 1999 GFRC or the 1907 galvanized?
Sign me, Mo Dillion
