On the heels of Friday’s ceremony at which Senator Chuck Schumer formally celebrated the handing over of control of Admirals Row to the city, Mr. Forgotten New York sends in this old photo of Building D, which is slated for demolition as part of a plan to bring a supermarket to this end of Flushing Avenue. (Building B, in the background, is the one former residence that is to be preserved. If you’re interested in seeing what kind of shape the interior of that building is in, check out this RFP. Lots of fascinating photos.) RIP.
at this point the timber shed will need to be deconstructed and reconstructed. That is OK w/me.
The Navy, the Army, the National Guard, all acted very badly. Very badly. They refused to take responsibility for the upkeep of the site and in the past several years refused to let others go in and stabilize the buildings. They treated Brooklyn very disrespectfully. Shame and double shame on them.
At least the site is now out of their dysfunctional grip.
