2. The Semiramis Central Park North (W. 110th Street) between Malcolm X Blvd. & Adam C. Powell Blvd.
Designed in 1901 by the architect Henry Anderson, the Semiramis remains a stately apartment building that commands a breathtaking view of Central Park. The maroon brick and rough-cut stone of the facade pay homage to Semiramis, a mythical Assyrian queen known for her beauty. Unfortunately, the ornate cornice has been offered as a sacrifice to the gods of time and erosion.
