NYU Arthur L. Carter Hall

 university, interesting place

6-story university building completed around 1900 as an office building. It is clad in red brick and terra-cotta above a 2-story base of stone and terra-cotta. The outer piers are banded stone, rising to small bracketed pediments at the top of the 2nd floor, with a stone cornice in between. Narrow Corinthian columns separate the windows on the first two floor, with an ornate carved stone cornice above the ground floor. The upper floors have the same columns, dividing each floor into six windows, with round-arched windows on the top floor. The outer piers are brick, and have vertical grooves at the 4th-5th floors.

The building now houses the NYU Department of Linguistics. The interior was renovated in 2010 by 1100 Architect.
