Last week we put this Isaac Soyer painting up for auction on eBay. This large and lovely painting depicts Gramercy Park, and because we are true New Yorkers we decided we must try to figure out exactly what building is shown in Soyer's work. For any of you that don't know, Bloom's headquarters on Coney Island Ave. in Brooklyn is a long ways away from Gramercy Park. I attempted to search for well known buildings in the area via Google, but was having no luck spotting this red brick facade. As a last resort I decided to use Google Map's satellite feature to take a virtual walk around the 'hood to see what I could find. Lo and Behold, I spotted it! The building's address is 4 Gramercy Park West, and you can read a little bit more about the building at the eBay listing here.
