Mark Boyce posted:All right, I missed something. Every picture of Nighthawks I have ever seen shows a bit of space above the left hand side of the Phillies sign above the big window indicating to me that it is a one story building. Have I only seen part of the Hopper painting, are you combining this with another building, or (this is probably the answer) have I not been paying attention? I am thinking you explained yourself back there somewhere, and I can't find it now, so I'll just ask for clarification.
You are correct.
I suspect Hopper took some architectural liberties; it's hard to believe that a one-story cafe would be stuck out on the corner, especially since the other buildings in the painting are two-story..
