ARCHITECTURE: 15 WEST 119TH STREET

A Bespoke reader sent in a tip that plywood is now up at the long abandoned lot at 15 West 119th Street and a rendering of the new construction has now been posted on the site.  This block between Lenox and Fifth Avenue is mostly within the Mount Morris Park Historic District but unfortunately the east end is not include on the north side of the street.  Original proposals had the construction site included several years ago but that is now no longer the case.   Based on permits filed as far back as 2013, there will be a new 6-story building that will rise on the site which will have 13 units altogether when things finish up.
