A German model at one point started a thriving skincare line out of her loft, and the brocade wallpaper in Crabapple\u2019s bathroom became something of a meme, with a fan once creating an entire Tumblr account dedicated to it. During the pandemic, residents sent cocktails up and down the elevator to each other.
