This is the coolest place!Apparently it was thought to be abandoned, but in fact it has been the residence of photographer Jay Meisel and his family for the last 42 years ...
It was an abandoned bank that he lovingly brought back to life ... dream renovation!
Lucky sod ...
He uses 3 of the levels as gallery spaces ...
And this walkway houses curiosities ... I want a hall to devote to curiosities!
He stores art in one of the bank vaults ... of course!
Note the gorgeous pressed tin on the walls - and subway tiles!
His daughters bed was set up on these platforms so she could see the skyline ... what a nice Dad he is ...
And as if all of that was not torture enough, they have a stunner of a rooftop garden, complete with the original copper cladding ... and a perfect Schnauzer ...
It's just not fair!
