Description:

Look up. New York's buildings are bedecked with a menagerie of creatures mythical and realistic, adorned by a population of gods and people genuine and imagined and trimmed with designs and details that range from the fanciful to the sublime. The architectural embellishments that decorate the city's stone buildings have suffered the ravages of time and indifference at the hands (and droppings) of pigeons, pollution, landlords, and vandals. But as photographer John Yang records in Over the Door, the city's architectural legacy still deserves our attention, appreciation, and protection.
