The building looks identical to the famous photo of the pre-VU posing in its doorway. That beautiful deco "56" grillwork, in fact, is not only intact, but occurs twice, on each side of what is apparently a storefront in between (gated at the time of my visit). The leftward entrance (facing the building) leads to a cellar apartment, and the other to the upstairs units.
Most interesting was what appeared to be some sort of sculptural item posted at the outer edge of the roof. I tried to capture these details, although my photographic skills are weak at best.
