The renderings never had “crowns” but the builder put them there anyway and everyone is upset.
thanks for the nod! we sold 266 cookies! Donating $665 to the women’s March.
A pile of Gold Crowns is apt sculpture for our New Focus with Golden Showers. Ask at the desk for a role of Gold Leaf if you need a wipe.
Instead of golden crowns it should have been a sculpture by Roberto Janz! And, oh, what echoes of these (brief, with any luck) trump times in the golden crowns…
is the rendering on streeteasy an updated one? bc I see some gold, crown looking things in the first picture there.

I had no recollection of it, but the sculpture was part of the model at the sales office. At the time, I was told that it was by Roy Nachum. https://tribecacitizen.wpengine.com/2013/06/04/first-look-at-the-franklin-place-sales-office/.
Yeah so the above poster, Alan, is basically making things up.
Or he could be mistaken.
