Tower Power
We love reading Scouting New York, a blog by the once-anonymous Nick Carr, a film location scout in NYC. A couple of days ago he posted some amazing pictures of 570 Lexington—originally built for RCA-Victor, then sold to GE, and finally donated to Columbia University. The building is an Art Deco-lover’s dream with beautiful details depicting electricity everywhere you look. It’s unbelievable the flourishes incorporated into such a magnificent building…and a shame that most people don’t even notice them. Take a look at Nick’s blog for even more photos, including a spectacular image of the building’s top.
