On the northeast corner of Manhattan’s 6^th Avenue and 54^th Street, the sculpted façade of the Warwick Hotel looks much as it did when it was first commissioned by William Randolph Hearst in 1926.  Depicted here is a portion of one of the several chiseled windowsills that adorn the hotel’s second floor exterior.  Photographed on March 14, 2014.  Higher resolution versions of this photo can be viewed at 500px.com.
