A remarkable work of architecture originally composed of several apartments of fourteen rooms and five bathrooms, of course reserved for the city’s elite, Alwyn Court is a jewel too often ignored.
Built between 1907 and 1909 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979, Alwyn Court was hard to fill during the Great Depression. Hence its closure until 1938, in order to renovate it and remodel the layout of its units. Its façade was restored by Beyer Blinder Belle in 1980 and 1981. The building has an octagonal courtyard with a beautiful architectural facade painted between 1977 and 1982 by the artist Richard Haas.
First published in 1968, Rosemary’s Baby is Ira Levin’s second novel. Built around questions of religious faith, the book was a great success with the public. It was adapted by Roman Polanski with Mia Farrow in the lead role. Ira Levin wrote the sequel, entitled Rosemary’s Son, in 1997.
