Thanks, Andrew. The AIA Guide mentioned that, after the railroad headquarters vacated the building, it was converted to a factory.

The building on the corner of Old Fulton Street and Furman is the old Berglass Tollet Bowl Manufacturing company building, converted to residential years ago. Its roof was used as the location for Jimmy Smit’s pigeon coops during the TV series NYPD Blue. The first floor and basement apartment suffered a lot of damage during Sandy.

Thanks Claude. I was out on the promenade at 7:30, heard the boom and saw the smoke rising from the implosion on Governor’s Island. I also saw completely stalled traffic on the BQE due to some trouble further down the road.
