GOOD NEWS: THIRD AND THIRD LANDMARKED

20060629_pippinGreat News from the Brooklyn Record. The NYC Landmarks commission has decided to landmark that incredible building on Third and Third.

Let’s have a party. Finally some good news in this age of knocking things down so that condos may rise. See below news about the Pavilion.

Says the Brooklyn Record:

The building was one of the first
concrete structures in the nation. Built between 1872 and 1873, it was
designed by William Field and Son to serve as the main office of the
Coignet Stone Company and was meant to highlight Coignet (artificial)
stone, which was really a type of concrete invented by Francois Coignet
in the mid-19th century.
