The most fascinating parcel of real estate, in my opinion, is not a building I am extremely familiar with but a building I saw this summer while living in Manhattan. One afternoon I stumbled across this building and fell in love, it is absolutely stunning inside and out, it is the New York Public Library located in Midtown Manhattan at the intersection of 42nd street. What really caught my eye was not only the infamous lions that sit outside but the masses amount of marble used to create the building. In searching for the history of the building, according to www.nyrl.org, it opened in 1911 and took an estimated $9 million to create. I really have no emotional ties to this parcel of real estate like I do for the home I grew up in, but when I was asked to write about the most fascinating parcel of real estate it was not my childhood house that came to mind, it was the New York Public Library because of its sheer elegance.
