Mystery masonry garden wall coming down at the Mystery Lot

While we wait for something significant to happen at the Mystery Lot ... we did notice a new permit from the city last week approving work for "removal of masonry garden wall." (Estimated Total Cost: $10,000.)

We're not quite sure what garden wall this is...

Short of hopping the fence, which we'd never do ... we can only guess at this moment... Photos from the weekend...






We even called in the EV Grieve satellite for an aerial shot...


Anyway, at the DOB website, there are permits pending approval related to building over this lot of bricks and mystery. The plans for the building were disapproved the first time on April 20.

As the Post first reported on Jan. 19, the space will become an 82-unit, eight-story development that should break ground this summer for a late 2013 opening. The work permits say that the space will include 86,409 square feet for residential and 5,275 square feet for retail.
