Decorative ornate ceramic tiles on side of 154 West 14th Street.
54 West 14th Street is a combination of Arts & Crafts, Mission, Art Nouveau and Vienna Secessionist styles. Completed in 1913 at a cost of approximately $350,000 the building was praised by The Times for its modern design as well as its bold use of color.
It is an example of the use of boldly polychromatic glazed terra cotta (in hues of white, beige, mustard, cobalt blue, celadon, and green) in New York City.
