The Houses · Oct 6, 1929
Essex House
325 East 41st Street
What is true
Famous for a skylit lobby bathed in colored light from stained glass.
What it became
Stand in the colored light long enough and your shadow falls in a year that isn't this one.
The colored hour
Wren is watching the light. Catch three beams and she'll rise.
Her shadow falls in a year that isn't this one. “There. Now we're both standing in the wrong hour.”
