For those fans of floorplan porn, Columbia is digitizing its collection of RE brochures. Bk is now online, Manhattan scheduled to go online in 2010.

A lot from Manhattan are now there.

One good set is of the Apthorp, apparently from the 1930s, after the original apartments had begun to be cut up.

The other boroughs are now there, along with some odds and ends from elsewhere.

I thought this was pretty cool, I found my building.

I think it's funny that the building is over 110 years old and even way back THEN the floor plan says "All Dimensions Approximate".
