We were interested to hear that we’re not the only ones in this preservationist-leaning crowd to admire the new modern townhouse on Vanderbilt. Not having seen what the back of the house looks like, we were especially pleased to receive some photos, including the one above. The tipster also shared some intelligence on the future of the St. Joseph’s parking lot next door:

The parking lot used to be a garage, but had to be knocked down because of structural defects in the roof. According to St. Joseph’s Master Building Plan, they have plans of turning it back into a two story garage at some point in the ‘intermediate’ future.. St. Joseph’s main campus is in Long Island. The majority of SJU students are LI commuters and need a place to park. If they convert the space into something other than parking, this campus would pretty much die.
