Several buildings and other structures fell in 2011.
We're still watching
7 - 9 Second Avenue fall, a harrowing loss of history--including
Mars Bar and much more.
35 Cooper Square, despite an outpouring of support for preserving its
illustrious history, was turned to rubble.
The gorgeous neon signage from
Jade Mountain was ripped away, carted off, and likely dumped.
Photo from warszeOne of the East Village's last bohemians, Edgar Oliver, was booted from
his home on E. 10th and the place is being sold as a townhouse.
The
home of Premiere Veal, formerly the Gansevoort Pumping Station, was demolished for the new Whitney Museum. And demolition has just begun on the
Atlas Meat packing plant.
And we lost a lot of old newsstands--at
14th and 6th, in
Times Square, on
University Place, down on
Water Street, and surely many more.
What else?
