The twin dumbbell tenement buildings appear on the #vinyl album cover for the famous Led Zeppelin album "Physical Graffiti”

The twin dumbbell tenement buildings spanning 96-98 St. are significant because they also appear on the #vinyl album cover for the famous Led Zeppelin album "Physical Graffiti”! 

The outer sleeve of the #LedZeppelin album released on February 24, 1975 (today marks the anniversary of the release date) was designed by Peter Corriston with die cut windows on the building revealing the letters spelling out the album name “PHYSICAL GRAFFITI”. Peter specifically chose these buildings because they were symmetrical with interesting details and would fit the square album cover.
