The New York State Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has agreed with this assessment and has suggested that alternatives to demolition, including adaptive reuse, must be considered." These buildings sit on 8 acres so I guess the Navy Yard Development Corporation won -- now they can go develop hopefully in good conscience. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904507364541458515.post-12715572502592472982012-02-14T08:57:56.688-05:002012-02-14T08:57:56.688-05:00Like them.Like them.Luis Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04727861757424018617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904507364541458515.post-46963765461967842322012-02-14T08:50:06.542-05:002012-02-14T08:50:06.542-05:00Beautiful and sad.
