423 Broadway on the west side of the street just 3 house numbers north of Canal St. You made this one too easy. Google Earth has all the same graffiti except “LOVE ME”.

I would not think kindly of someone spray painting their Art on my home.

It looks like they actually used a roller rather than a spray can. Would you be OK with someone using a roller rather than spray paint to graffiti your house? Or is it more the graffiti itself that you’re opposed to?

I’ve always admired that house. It looks ancient. In Joseph Mitchell’s Up in the Old Hotel, he talks about a certain type of particularly old brick row house called a “humpback” and I’ve always wondered if this house is an example of that style.
