Artifacts of

 

747 Third Avenue has many interesting and eclectic art pieces incorporated into the building and surrounding areas. The building was designed to be fun as well as interesting to it's tenants, new visitors and passersby. The Kaufman's went to great lengths to insure their properties were "art friendly" for everyone to experience inside, as well as outside. (Hint - you may have to really look hard to catch every piece of artwork, as there are even pieces hidden from basic view).

 

Here, we have the loading dock entrances (which in most buildings in Manhattan, are VERY mundane and boring)  which were turned into something very special with the incorporation

of these beautiful pieces of  mason art work (Fabricated of brick and incorporated into the bearing structure of the wall).
