3C 270 (NGC 4261); z=0.007465

A well-studied nearby FR I with a boxy elliptical host galaxy and a circumnuclear dust disk. [Ferrarese et al.1996] used imaging and spectroscopy of this source to determine its black-hole mass. A faint unresolved nuclear point source is visible in the IR. Data first published by [Quillen et al.2000].
