Carved angels recline beneath the fifth-floor windows of the facade
Ephemeral New York notes that bas-relief figures resembling twin angels sit high on the facade beneath the fifth-floor windows, two on each side. Tall street trees often hide them from view. The post counts them among a few carved angels on East Village tenements.
