September 18, 2007: Novelty Court

Novelty Court

I like buildings with amusing or mysterious names. Can you imagine a building going up now with a name like "Novelty Court"? Of course not-- all the new towers in Williamsburg have stupidly straightforward monikers like "20 Bayard" or "80 Metropolitan" or "McCarren Park Estates". I think that the developers need to try a little harder!

Bonus: I'd like to start a brickwork appreciation club-- see more examples here and here.
