It is little-remarked-upon because it is uncommon that two pedestrians would pass one another in this part of town!, snow or no snow.

Do not be tricked by the four vertical ornaments: Per Google Street View, they were installed sometime after September 2017. To fully understand the building's 1951ness, you need to mentally strip away the four ornaments.

Also imagine old bad 1950s drafty windows that cause pinched-finger injuries every time you open or close them, instead of these.

Ah yes yes yes, an entire neighborhood's worth of yellow plastic utility pole guy wire covers.

I loved the display of warm moisture. The pressure of escaping steam was causing the manhole lids to rattle.

Ah the aftermaths of torrential rains in cities with district heating systems, when heavy runoffs get boiled upon contact with the underground steampipes. I love to see it.
