CONSTRUCTION: WAITING FOR THE FIRE WATCHTOWER


Harlem Bespoke: The landmark fire watchtower at the top of Marcus Garvey Park was dismantle back in 2015 and originally had a restoration date set a couple of years later.   Summer 2017 went by quickly and the new date set for Summer 2018 has now since past.  What is the update these days?  Apparently all of the foundation work and equipment is currently being set up for the arrival of the various restored parts of the tower which also includes the enormous bell that was used to signal firemen in the 1800s.  This will probably be the last delay and things should probably finish up by early spring.  Check out what the original watchtower looked like in our past post: LINK
