Neo-Hellenic Architecture Rears its Ugly Head in Astoria

Today Astoria Ugly revealed the unfortunate facade of the reborn Hephaistos Building Supplies building off Crescent Street and 37th Avenue. The building had been shrouded in scaffolding for quite some time. As Astoria Ugly says: “I am so glad Neo-Hellenic architecture is not dead in Astoria. With all the recent green-glass condos, I was afraid this art form, which promotes the glory of ancient Greece, was being lost.”

The building is even outfitted in gold Greek letters…. yikes. GMAP
