The Houses · Fall 1928
The Hermitage
330 East 43rd Street
What is true
A quiet traditional house facing the others across the interior spine.
What it became
Named for a hermit's cell. Someone here has been alone a very long time and is not a hermit.

You didn't run. Her eyes, that had no light in them, find some. — “She only ever wanted someone to stay.” — Wren
