This cache is only big enough for the log. BYOP.
On the same block as this cache at the other end of the street is a peculiar building. It is a historical landmark located at 102 Bedford Street Known as Twin Peaks. I would love to have the cache placed closer to this building but it was too close to the location of my other cache "Narrow and Thin" that is also in the area. So instead, I placed it as close as I can without breaking the "distance between caches" rule set by geocaching.com.
In early 1925, Clifford Reed Daily bought a three-story mid-19th-century row house at 102 Bedford. In April 1925 he began work on a $14,000 alteration to the old building, extending its height to five stories with what the building application described as a ''saw-tooth roof.''
On May 21, 1926, one of the most peculiar dedications in New York building history took place, as Clifford Reed Daily finished the building he christened ''Twin Peaks,'' for its medieval-style roof.
The Herald Tribune reported that the actress Mabel Normand stood on a platform on top of one of the gables and shattered a bottle of Champagne over the roof. Next to her, Princess Amelie Troubetskoy (an American novelist who had married a Russian prince in czarist days) burned acorns in a charcoal brazier in honor of the Greek god Pan. Holy water, flowers and other rites also inaugurated the building.
The exterior was in black, green, orange and blue, a color scheme that has since vanished. Photographs from the 1940's indicate that the original varied color scheme had been painted out. The building was included in the Greenwich Village Historic District in 1969.
As a bonus to this cache's namesake , across the street at the corner building with a restaurant on the first floor is the spot where Monica, Joey, and Chandler from the hit TV comedy "Friends" was supposed to be living at in the show itself.
