The top photo shows a stoop that has seen better days with missing newel post that have been replaced by concrete blocks and missing baluster pieces on a few of the steps. The lower two photos are that of the neighbors who have kept up their stoops and even have fresh coats of high gloss paint on them. divbr //divdivHow much would replacing all the components on the wreck stoop? We found a cast iron resource that list each baluster (four total) at the cost of $322 each and the newel post around $ 3,500 each so the total would be around $8,288 to get all the iron pieces back up. The second cheaper option would probably be not to spend the money on the the newels and just have the concrete blocks re-casted which would only be a couple of thousand. The cheapest version of them all are the skinny handrails that many home owner opt for since they are probably under one thousand in total. All photos by Ulysses.

Although modest, the temple is probably one of the last continuously running synagogues from Harlem’s former Jewish population. On their blog, there is a photo of what the building windows look like from 1960 until 2003-which was basically cinder blocks and metal screens. In 2003 a generous grant from the New York Landmarks Conservancy and the Upper Manhattan Historic Preservation Fund helped the congregation restore what was left of the original windows and they now let in the natural light into the century old establishment. Check out their blog for more information and also a peak at what the building looked like beforehand:a rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://oldbroadwaysynagogue.blogspot.com/2009/12/appreciation-of-chaim-feigenblatt.html LINK/a.

On the cover, Small’s is advertised as the home of mirth and laughter for 20 years and the inside has a photo of the Progressive Social Club ladies all decked out for a gala event. As with all the legendary clubs of Harlem, hard times came along and by the 1980’s Small’s at 135th and Lenox was literally a shell of its past (center photo by Camillo Jose Vergeras ). Today, like much of Harlem, the building on 135th Street and ACP/7th Avenue has been revived to house an IHOP restaurant on the ground floors where folks used to do the Charlston and the top level has been built up to establish today’s Thurgood Marshall Academy (lower photo by Ulysses).

Many prewar buildings have limestone bases or brownstone painted to look like limestone. We noticed a building in Morningside Heights that was going through the exercise of selecting facade paint color last fall. Since these buildings are around 100 years old, repair work often entails filling in chips and cracks and then painting over everything to seal it off. From the first photo, there were three options on hand. Option one is a creamy white, option two a richer khaki color (the darker whites become, they turn into khaki or grey colors) and option three which is an optic white. Most choose option three since it is the whitest white out there. In fact, this color would probably work best for interiors but will get too dirty too quickly for the exterior. Option two is a nice shade but mimics the color of dirty, aged limestone. divbr //divdivSo the winner was option one and from the lower photo, it does look like basic white in natural daylight but one would never know it from just looking at the color chips. The building ends up looking brighter and cleaner but will stand up against a little city grit. On a final note, a semi-smooth finish such as satin or eggshell is recommended so that the surfaces are slightly light reflective and easy to clean. Matte finishes in paint are too dry and attract dirt while too shiny semi-gloss or high gloss are better for weather proofing wood surfaces.

Help revive the Harlem River Park Mural. Last week, vandals defaced two Creative Arts Workshops for Kids (CAW) murals in Harlem River Park. Fifty CAW teens spent six weeks last summer painting three stunning murals in the newly renovated Harlem River Park (above photo). CAW’s annual summer jobs program enables at-risk teens in Harlem to work with professional artists to design and produce artwork that is then presented to and donated back to the community. Out of respect for our teens’ hard work and with the support of the Harlem Community Development Corporation and volunteers, come out and help restore this artwork to its original state.For more information, contact Julie Pareles via email at Julie@caw4kids.org or by phone at (646) 424-0392 or (917) 612-7891. a rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://www.caw4kids.org/www.caw4kids.org. /adiv class=blogger-post-footerimg width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2048034911181517049-6509633763378438163?l=harlembespoke.blogspot.com’ alt=”//div

There had been smaller saplings planted early in the year, but apparently they didn’t do so well. This is really a great initiative for the city since it adds an aesthetic quality to the streets and the trees help reduce carbon dioxide in the air.

The original plan was to move a block south on 12th Avenue at 125th Street by this fall. The current restaurant is technically on 131st Street and 12th Avenue but since 125th severely slices diagonally along the grid towards the Hudson, the new location is only about a block south from the restaurants original plot. The goal is to have the old warehouse on 125th Street fully renovated and to shut down the original operation the night before they switch to the new space.divbr //divdivWhen we walked by yesterday, the equipment was being moved in throughout the morning and a couple of Verizon trucks (at left of lower photo) had been parked out front. From the peek that we got of the interior, they still have quite a ways to go. If they speed along, maybe a mid-December opening is more realistic. On a positive note, this very popular Manhattanville eatery was successful in dealing with Columbia to move their business and basically stay in the same area. Some people don’t get it, but the place is a roadhouse bar-b-que and the entire point was to have have it in an old school industrial looking area. Therefore, congrats to all parties for working it out. Dinosaur is currently located on 646 W 131st St. tel: 212-694-1777. Take the 1 train to 125th Street and head West towards the viaduct.

This former turn of the century, luxury apartment building facing Morningside Park at West 122nd Street eventually became a basic rental building once the neighborhood fell into decline in the mid century. The top two photo shows the building today with the cornice eventually removed at the the roofline when it became unstable a couple of years later and graffiti slowly appearing at the facade. br /br /The last photo shows the twin sister building at 94 Morningside Avenue which is attached at the left half of the block towards 123rd Street. Apparently the fire spared the second building but the landlord has not been able to finance repairs or offer the former building up for sale. In our opinion, this is a situation where the government should use Eminent Domain to take over large pieces of property that the owners can not or will not take care of. This building could be sold off to the proper developer as a mixed income condo to help improve the area instead of eventually becoming a safety hazard. It also might be wise to have a no smoking clause the next time around.div class=blogger-post-footerimg width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2048034911181517049-2570017677750501567?l=harlembespoke.blogspot.com’ alt=”//div

Even though more than a few outside specialist deemed the structure salvageable, the D.O.B. made the drastic decision to demolish the top three floors. There’s lots of local politics going on with every decision being made here so its hard to say what or why things happened at this point.divbr //divdivFor the record, we wanted to break down some archival photos to get a history on the actual structure. The top photo shows the intricate roof that was lost to a fire in 1997 at the then abandoned building. The second photo shows the three central floors with the embossed green, metal oriel windows and the studded terracotta ornamentations and orbs. This was the section that was largely visible from the Metro North platform for the last 100 years until the city demolished it in the past six weeks. Finally, the lower photo shows what remains today. The intricate, arched, two story, load bearing base housed the original Mount Morris Bank when the building first opened and definitely is strong enough for any future adaptive reuse plan./divdivbr //divdivBelieve it or not the Octagon Building ruins on Roosevelt Island had much less left over before it was rebuilt this past decade so we are hopeful that the city will do the right thing in the upcoming years with the Corn Exchange Building.
