Facing

The left pictures an inset high rise which faces lower lying and older buildings pictured right.

Below Casa Lally on the right faces an array of remodeled – more – and – less brown stones on its opposite side of the street.

The exaggerated bay window is so «in your face. [Left]« Casa Lally has a high styled artificiality, which is attention-grabbing

Diving a little deeper

CASA LALLY, Hunter College & below

Casa Lally? Mystery? Likely an Italian Institute. [There was something similar when I was housed at Columbia; I used to attend movie nights at their Maison Francaise, which was on 113th Street in those days.]

The internet reveals all. Parliamo Italiano can be found at 132 East 65th Street, aka Casa Lally.

The family, or rather an entity called Caravan House, donated the Lally townhouse for the purpose,  although it appears the continuing education classes are at the main campus.
