One of my favorite architectural feature of old buildings is when there are faces on them.
I think it’s awesome and spectacularly cool.
I wish our building had a face on it. Or a cool dragon like the building across the street that I am in love with.
I think part of the reason I like the faces so much is that it gives me the feeling that if someone came along with say, a magic rose or some ferry dust or a wand, that the people and dragons built into the buildings of this great city would come alive and move about among the rest of us; these great stone people and animals that would, of course, be friendly. Unless, they are super-mean and they will only come alive when New York is inevitably invaded by aliens (as happens in all movies) and they will defend us all and save the world and then happily retake their places in our homes. Yes, I think that is probably the more likely scenario.
