I always cringe when I see vines growing unchecked on buildings. Even though some people think it makes the building look neat, the long-term damage is cringeworthy.

We know from a previous post National Cash Register had a pretty impressive attraction at the 1939 New York World's Fair.

I'm impressed with the two curves in the wooden walk in the foreground. It took more time but makes for a much nicer look than what you'd probably see today.

Or make that "K", as in the street ( looking west to Rubicon as best as I can tell)
Sadly, this picturesque assemblage - brick veneered on first floors of the furthest five (tho you wouldn't know it!) - didn't last long: the ever expanding factory complex had replaced it within a few years.
