While driving down S. Wilton Place in the google-mobile, I looked east on 7th Street and noticed a rooftop sign in the distance.

I turned and drove toward the sign. Finally I could make it out...ANCELLE. I have never heard of it. -hmmmm, interesting-

Also on the Gramercy Drive side is this wonderful entrance.

Above the gate ANCELLE is spelled out in neon.

Peering through the gate one catches a glimpse of the lush courtyard and fountain.
