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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
