Once Upon A Time at 311 Warren Street / 180 Smith Street
311 Warren today
Where once there was a sweet little garden with a lovely dogwood tree, there is now a new buildings.
I had high hopes for the new construction at 311 Warren Street, I really did. The brick clad building didn't seem too out of scale with the rest of Smith Street and I loved the number of windows facing Warren. With a cornice, it could have looked downright contextual.
And then it happened! More steal and cinder blocks were added for additional floors, which makes the building tower over its 'neighbors.'
Too bad. Without the extra height, it wouldn't have been half bad.
