90th St Between Park Ave and Madison Ave

In the interest of making my job as difficult and costly as possible, today's photos were shot on film.

This residential block is a mixture of both old and new buildings. I can't say that there's much offered here to the average person.  One sign near Madison ave talks about the area's Landmark Preservation status (referring to Carnegie Hill). Though I found the content of that sign to be confusing:

Carnegie Hill has retained its low rise midblock domestic character since it was first developed in the 1880's, following the extension of the Third Avenue Elevated Railroad north in 1881.

Really? Low rise? There seemed to be plenty of very tall buildings scattered all around this block when I visited. I think the individuals who tagged the sign seemed to agree with me.
