Owl ornaments decorate the facade of 11 Stanton Street, built in 1900
Ephemeral New York pictures 11 Stanton Street, built in 1900, as one of many New York buildings decorated with owl figures, which the blog says stand for wisdom and foresight. It compares them with the 26 bronze owls that once crowned the New York Herald building at Herald Square, where publisher James Gordon Bennett had a fondness for the birds.
