Alwyn Court

Alwyn Court, at 180 West 58th Street, is an apartment block in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Its intricate façade in the French Renaissance style made it a New York City Landmark, a recognition that was officially accorded in 1966.

Alwyn Court was built in 1908. It is 12 storey tall, and originally contained luxurious 14-room apartments. During the Depression these mammoth apartments were subdivided into small quarters.

The most interesting feature of Alwyn Court is its interior facade, done in mersmerising detail. It is in the style of François I, with a crowned salamander as its symbol. Inside Alwyn Court is a courtyard which was decorated by artist Richard Haas, who decorated the plain walls to mimic carved stonework.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
