Pre-war Apartments

This series is about the pre-war apartments that were constructed before 1947 in Queens, New York. Many of them haven't been renovated at all for decades and some even have the 'fall out shelter' signs that used to be a symbol of the cold-war era. Those buildings are now being replaced with new modern style apartments and commercial buildings. I wanted to describe the moments when the buildings started embracing me after I spent a long time with them.
