ARCHITECTURE: THE RESTORED PS186 FACADE


It took several decades to restore the abandoned PS 186 building on 145th Street but now that day has come about.  We noticed that the scaffolding that was up at the historic building just east of Broadway in Hamilton Heights is currently going down and the gleaming new windows along with the grand cornices have now been revealed.   Architects and developers said the majestic building which had trees growing out top could not be saved but of course that was all smoke and mirror.  Affordable housing will arrive this side of the year and this former eyesore will soon be the best building on the block.  More details in our past post: LINK
