Even the most ordinary buildings have a variety of signs and lettering that reveal the most interesting details. Alexander Tochilovsky,* an educator and curator at The Cooper Union, will walk us through the neighborhood with a unique lens that focuses on an artistic layer of the Upper West Side and how this texture informs building history and architecture.
