190 Bowery

In 1966 a photographer named Jay Maisel bought an abandoned German bank built in 1898 for 102,000$. It's six stories tall and has 72 rooms, complete with the original copper elevator. Today it's valued at over 30 million. Jay, his wife, and daughter live there today and refuse the countless offers that would turn the gem into another condo. 
My favourite room by far^^
