25 West 81st (at Central Park West)

Below are photographs of a building on 81st street, just around the corner from the American Museum of Natural History, in New York.

As I got off the bus (M10), I thought I would take a look at some of the buildings around the museum, and settled on 25 West 81st Street.

It happens to be a landmark building. Here is some of its background:

Architects: Gronenberg & Leuchtag
Built (completed): 1927
Floors: 16
Designation: City Landmark

The building is across from the side entrance to the American Museum of Natural History. Despite the imposing design of the museum, I found its sprawling structure with a combination of architectural styles too confusing (compare it to the elegant Metropolitan Museum of Art).
