Strange find in Jackson Heights

From Lost City:

The man likes his windows, no? Likes some of that good old sunlight? Or is a giant, maybe, and hates stooping down to look outside.

Striking. So are we dealing to two floors here or one high-ceiling level? And where do you get curtains that long? Kinda like it. Sorta suspect his neighbors hate it, though.

In an attempt to Manhattan-ize the 5 boros; With so many tall buildings popping up all over our neighborhoods, you better grab whatever natural light you can.

This is standard in the rest of america-- big box houses with these gigantic long windows. It is true this is not commonly seen in NYC.

I hope he closes the shades when he's changing.

This house is on 86th street between Northern Blvd. and 34th avenue. I grew up (and still live) a block away and I don't remember the house ever not having those long windows. I always liked them and whenever I pass by I can't help but wonder what's going on inside. If you want to talk crap, there's a house on the same side of the block whose front lawn is weirdly covered in plastic. Thankfully no cheap shiny chrome on that block yet though.

I'd hate to have to clean those windows;)

That can't be structurally sound.
