☞ REVIVE: The New 124th Street ConEd



Seeing that the ConEd building on West 125th Street is currently under demolition for the New Harlem Success Academy, one might wonder where are folks paying their bills?  Walking by the old Oswald Supply Company warehouse at 116-120 East 124th Street, we noticed that that the formerly abandoned building received a scrub down of its hand painted signage.  ConEd has since moved into large building east of the tracks on Park Avenue and we were pleasantly surprised that they chose this site to relocate to. One can still see some remnants of the old painted lettering above the lower floor windows but not much is left to intimate the original use of the structure.  Read more about what's happening to the other building in our past post: LINK

  1. They might want to spend a few bob of their ill-gotten gains on that block’s crumbling sidewalk before elderly people clutching their payments fall and hurt themselves or a woman of a certain age pushing an adorable young man in a wheelchair trips, feels litigious and sues their greedy, incompetent corporate asses . . .

    Oh. Sorry. Zoned out there for a moment.

  2. Just to be clear, the sidewalk in front of this building was completely repaved. It's the sidewalk from the west end of this building to the Park Avenue side of the block that remains in disrepair, and I believe the vacant lot in front of that sidewalk has another owner.

  3. I never let facts get in the way of a good rant. But I thought I saw ConEd trucks parked there.
