Never seen this side of Harlem before! Nice pictures!

You played around with the lighting, it looks like?

Impossible not to love these scenes. Great job!

For those who don't know NY, the old yellow house belonged to Alexander Hamilton, and the white home, the Morris Jumel mansion, is the oldest surviving residence in Manhattan dating from around the 1760s. (Other boroughs of NYC, however, have houses dating from the 1600s.)

Now that's what I'm talking about Harlem.

I LOVE NEW YORK! It's a definite place to visit. I might even live in the big Apple!

sad is putting it lightly. our built environment is going to become increasingly sterile, disposable, and joyless.

Holy smokes hero, I thought you'd left us. Beautiful residences. I remember seeing the rows in the first few pics before (possibly in a ColDay thread?), and they're still special. Thanks for enlightening us once again.

jdcamb · #12 Posted **Jun 26, 2011, 1:46 AM**

Amazing. I love it there.

alasi · #13 Posted **Jun 26, 2011, 2:56 AM**

Beautiful brownstones.

I'd love to see a comparison between Harlem now and thirty years ago.

Welcome back, herodotus. Nobody does housing stock threads like you.

Swinefeld · #16 Posted **Jun 26, 2011, 3:24 PM**

Classic New York. A great side of the city visitors never see.

ColDayMan · #17 Posted **Jun 27, 2011, 4:37 AM**

Incomparable Harlem.

One of the greatest neighborhoods in America.

Yup

The house on the corner is the house from the movie The Royal Tennenbaums
