19th & Fourth

Just over a year ago, the Seafarers Union buildings, at the corner of Fourth and 19th, were sold to 635 4th Avenue Holdings LLC for ten million dollars.  The following spring, 635 Fourth was put back on the market for $24,500,000 - with plans in place for a 12 storey apartment building - but no sale took place.   Construction plans for a new building are yet to be approved, but demolition has begun.

Through an empty window, I spied remnants of naval-themed wallpaper.
