The word "lobby" has a very different meaning for the apartment dwellers of Riverdale than it does for the denizens of K Street in Washington, D.C. or State Street in Albany. Photo editor Adrian Fussell took a random sampling of the spaces - both inside and out - that are the first things we see when we arrive. Some are sleek and modern, and others are practically medieval, but most speak of the comfort and luxury to be found inside each apartment in their buildings.
