230 West 78th Street

The Linden 78. Perhaps most notable for it's use of an internal truss to cantilever the western part of the building over an adjacent brownstone (housing the 78th Street Theatre Lab and StandUp NY Comedy Club). The brownstone was purchased with air rights in the 1970s when this was a much less expensive neighborhood. Presumably, this was a way to use the air rights while preserving his own building.
