  1. 57 Lispenard, also called the Pearl Paint Lofts, is the residential conversion of the Pearl Paint building (the main entrance used to be on Canal). The developer hung the original signage in the lobby as an homage to their origins.

  2. I don’t know what pastiche even means but it’s definitely not a homage

  3. Whatever it is, I would hang it in my lobby in two secs. Takes me back to my youth.
