Maybe we should call this one, “Where in Hell Have I Seen This?” Do you know where this devil painted on a wall is located? We wanted to zoom out just a bit more to give more contextual clues, but that would have given it away completely.
We think the ‘Where’ players are up for this challenge.

Here’s the answer to last week’s “Where.”
Last week’s photo was a tight shot of the top three floors of The Standard, an apartment building at 170 Monmouth Street and roofline of The Bagel Station next door. The buildings sit directly across the street from the Red Bank Train Station.
The Standard, is a former newspaper publishing building that housed the presses and offices of The Daily Standard, also referred to as The New Jersey Standard, a paper that published from the 1850’s to 1941. The building housed offices until recent years, when it was converted to rental apartments.
It’s the tallest building in the train station area, but won’t be for long if the proposed five-story The Rail North is approved by the Planning Board. With so much debate over the height of buildings amid Red Bank’s building boom, it’s always struck me as an example of how taller buildings could be less intrusive – as long as they’re not a block long and there are other structures of varying height alongside them.
I guess I’m the only one who’s been staring at that building throughout the debate over the train station development, because we seem to have stumped a lot of people with this one. One person guessed this was the Drazin and Warshaw building on Peters Place (which has been featured in ‘Where’ in the past.
