and soon, new will be old

Old architecture is juxtaposed against new architecture in our city all the time. The modern glass building on the southeast corner of 86th and Lexington was completed in 2009-2010.

This old sheet metal cornice dates from around 1915, according to a realtor.com search for 128 East 86th.
