Workers arrived this morning to erect a sidewalk shed and scaffolding at 330 Bowery, the historic circa-1874 building that once housed the Bouwerie Lane Theater and various banks before that...
According to the DOB, workers will be painting the landmark cast-iron building here at Bond Street sea-foam green and removing all the ornate details.
KIDDING! Jeez.
Actually, according to the all-cap stylists at the DOB:
ESTERIOR [Ed note: Exterior?] REPAIRS CONSISTING OF REBUILDING PARAPET WALL & RESTORING EXISTING STAIRS AS PER PLANS FILED HEREWITH. NO CHANGE TO USE, OCCUPANCY OR EGRESS
In 2007, "self-storage king" Adam Gordon bought the building and made condos, including a penthouse that went for some $14 million.

This is why you shouldn't wear those white loafers until Memorial Day!
It's about time. I've been documenting the deterioration of this facade for a couple of years now and was getting increasingly worried it would no longer be salvageable.
