This city-owned building was formerly a subway power house, one of a small group of utility buildings similarly designed and built at the same time. Although some of them have been reused in productive ways, this sturdy and handsome Beaux-Arts structure remains underutilized and very neglected.
The photo at the left was taken in 2001; subsequently, a sidewalk bridge has been erected and protective netting wrapped over the cornice and upper facade.
