“The tenement is the basic façade in New York, the face of the slums, a slab of tombstone proportions, four to six stories, pocketed by windows. Above is the towering tin cornice, a confection of scallops and curlicues, with foliaceous brackets, often topped by a semicircular peak, a disk enclosing a rayed sun…It is the most conspicuous item in the tenement’s equipment of fictitious grandeur.” —from Low Life by Luc Sante
