To satisfy your Tuesday afternoon curiosity, we decided to wade through our That's Rather Hideous archives and take a look at where some of the most hideous picks of the last year have ended up. Still on the market? Does the PriceChopper judge apartments by their hideousness? Read on to find out!

1) 253 West 73rd Street
Rather Hideous Because: The Amityville Horror curse took over a once-charming pre-war condo.
Now: The property is still on the market, but this past weekend it was visited by the PriceChopper. The quadplex condo that was initially asking $5.595 million is now asking $4.18 million.
