The "red and whites," Summer 2010.

The "Red and Whites" are a row of houses at 121 - 131 West 78th Street on the Upper West Side of New York City, famous for their Moorish influence as designed by Spanish-born architect Rafael Guastavino. The row, completed in 1886, is a kaleidoscope of Moorish elements in brick, with multiple-centered arches, intricate banding and unusual projecting cornices. According to the New York Times, "the Real Estate Record and Guide reported that Guastavino was designing the row of houses for the French-born developer Bernard S. Levy." Guastavino also designed a row across the street, at 118-134 West 78th, but in brownstone.
