71 Garfield

Garfield Manor at 71 Garfield has been converted into combined housing and studio space for artists. It will contain 20 residential units and 20 studios.  The complex is green.  Geothermal, solar and wind and water retention systems will reduce net energy consumption and the waste stream to near zero.


*Note* Please ignore the color differences in the brick. I'm not sure how much the difference is from clean up or from my exposure.

Gone

For a change, a few nondescript buildings got knocked down in Brush Park this winter.

Whitewash

Rather than doing any substantial work on Film Exchange Building, the owner decided to dump a few hundred gallons of white paint on the building and call it a day.
