MAUZO YA MALI
PARADISO YA CHUMBA KIMOJA, ILIYOJENGWA KABLA YA VITA

Makao haya mapana ya chumba kimoja, yaliyo kwenye ghorofa ya juu, yanapatikana Whitby ya kihistoria na yenye mvuto wa fumbo, ambako watu mashuhuri wa karne ya 20 kama Doris Day, George Burns na Al Capone waliishi mchana na usiku. Nyumba hii tulivu ya ghorofa ya 6, iliyojisitiri kwenye sehemu ya pembeni ya korido kwa ajili ya faragha, imeboreshwa kwa umakini ili kuhifadhi mandhari zinazotamaniwa za miaka ya 1920, huku ikitoa starehe za maisha ya kisasa.

Korido ya kuingilia yenye mwanga mzuri, ndefu na yenye mvuto wa kipekee, inaweza kutoshea kwa urahisi ukuta mpana wa maktaba, jumba la sanaa lenye picha zinazoning’inizwa au ofisi bora ya nyumbani. Kisha unaingia kwenye sebule pana yenye sakafu maridadi ya mwaloni mweusi, dari zenye mihimili na mapambo ya ukingoni mwa dari. Madirisha makubwa yanayoelekea kusini huruhusu mwanga mzuri kuingia na kutoa mandhari ya kuvutia ya anga la jiji, ambayo huwa ya kupendeza sana usiku.

Jiko lenye madirisha limefunguliwa zaidi na lina kaunta ya kiamsha kinywa iliyojengwa ndani, kaunta za granite na makabati maalum ya mbao. Bafu pana limewekwa kwa ustadi kati ya sebule na chumba cha kulala, likiwa bora kwa wageni. Pia lina dirisha na limeboreshwa kwa beseni la kuogea, sinki la Kohler lenye nguzo na vifaa vya Toto. Chumba kikubwa cha kulala, kilichotenganishwa na sebule kwa eneo la kuingilia, kinatoa faragha tulivu na hujazwa mwanga wa kusini.

Whitby, iliyowahi kuandikwa kwa umaarufu katika New York Times, iliundwa na mbunifu mashuhuri Emery Roth (The San Remo, The Beresford) na kukamilika mwaka wa 1923. Jengo hili lenye hadhi, lenye vitengo 217, linalojulikana kwa sehemu zake tatu imara zinazojitokeza pamoja na ukingo wake wa matofali wenye mawimbi, liko kwenye West 45th Street kati ya 8th na 9th Avenues, katikati ya wilaya maarufu ya kumbi za maonyesho ya NYC.
