This is where we shot the cover for my John Barrowman story. (He was sorry his partner, an architect, wasn’t there to see it.) The exteriors were dizzying, breath-taking, awe-inspiring. The interior was more often rented out than lived in, and there was a little sign telling you to take off your shoes and where to find the bathroom.

All the same: Just look at it. Don Draper is right around the corner.
