Harlem Bespoke: The large free standing mansard roof building at the corner of 152nd Street and Amsterdam Avenue is actually a former Victorian Era police station. The 32nd precinct building served the Carmansville neighborhood in the late 1800s and is now an official NYC individual landmark. As can bee seen from the top archival image taken in the 1940s, everything pretty much looks the same today. Currently an environmental justice organization uses the distinct address as a headquarter but apparently a church owns the property. More on the environmental mission of WE ACT can be found on the official website:
