Alwyn Court in Manhattan (58th and 7thAve) 
I was walking to work today and saw this building, it looks like it has stone carvings covering the entire exterior. The detail is amazing, I just read that it is actually terracotta, not stone. It looks very Art Nouveau, with some cool lizards to jazz things up. Apparently this building was one of the first luxury apartment buildings ever built (1909). Before that, most people equated apartment with stinky tenement.
