The
Columbia Spectator reports today on the planned Faith Ringgold Children's Museum and affordable housing building that will be set up on West 155th Street. Known as the Sugar Hill Project, the modern building was started by the support of Ringgold (who has quilts hanging in the Guggenheim) and the Broadway Housing Communities organization. Another key player will be David Adjaye, who coincidentally was the architect selected to build the new Smithsonian National Museum of African-American Culture in Washington D.C. Slated to open in 2012, the building will have 124 units on the upper levels along with an early childhood center. This corner of St. Nicholas Place and West 155th Street currently has a castle-like parking garage and a gas station on it. Apparently the gas station is staying, but the older building is going (lower photo). Read more about in the Spectator:
