Front & Back

Starting a new regular type of post today.   Welcome!  You're my first guests here for....Front & Back.

It may just be me but when I walk or drive through a city I am always looking at the facades of all the buildings I pass.  (The dents & scratches on my car prove that I really do mean that.)  What I am always thinking though is, "What's behind that front?"  

I have been reading so many architecture and design books over the years and know that a facade doesn't tell you the complete story and some of the best stories are the ones where the inside and back surprise you.    Maybe I am the only person who thinks about these things.   Please post your thoughts and comments.  I am curious to hear what you think.

1st Front & Back - 27 Vandam St, NYC

Located in the West Village, this 92 year-old Federal-style townhome was once home to choreographer Paul Taylor & is totally redone today.  The house has 5 bedrooms, 4+ bathrooms and a two-story glass curtain wall in the rear overlooking the garden. 

To me the front and the back have nothing to do with each other but that is what makes it a good story.   Take a look now at the interiors:
