  81 Irving Place gargoyle
by Dabs
 
 

At the corner of Irving Place and East 19th Street, you'll find this 14 story apartment building designed by George Pelham, decorated with fabulous terra-cotta gargoyles. It was built in 1929-1930.

Our tour passed by this building without a mention but I went back to take a closer look because of my affection for gargoyles, this building had a number of very fine ones including the impish fellow in the attached photo.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
