As promised, here are more buildings with cut-outs at the roof top.  Please enlarge this so you can see how they're made.  Also, take a look at the intricate brickwork.  This building is on the northeast corner of St. Nicholas and 188th St.

This is the building next to it, and together, they make up the entire block on the east side.  Just walking along the street, seeing those storefronts, you wouldn't guess there's all that fancy stuff at the top, would you?  Let's all make a resolution to look up more.  I know it feels uncool, but if you assume an imaginary profession, you can make it work.  Me, I'm a street photographer.  You could be a landmarks surveyor.  Or a building inspector.
