[EVG photo from February]
Earlier in the week we noted that workers had demolished the cool façade at 324 E. 4th St. ...
Yesterday, EVG Facebook friend Gyda Gash caught a glimpse of a mural leftover from Hanky's "Surplus Candy" art show here from January...
Here's a photo of the original via Hugh Burckhardt's photo site More Than Usual ...
As for No. 324, plans call for an additional three floors here for apartments between Avenue C and Avenue D.
Previously on EV Grieve:
2 new floors, gut renovation in store for empty tenement that last housed a Hanksy art show
At Hanksy's 'Surplus Candy' art show in an abandoned East Village tenement
Gut renovations underway at 324 E. 4th St., most recently the makeshift gallery for Hanksy and Co.
The unique façade of 324 E. 4th St. is gone

Shouldn't say this but think of the premium they could charge if they left that "edgy" "urban" & ahem "artistic" piece in place. Suck.
My dear and most beautiful friend Lee Forest lived here till she sadly died over fifteen years ago. She had a little one bedroom apartment she filled with gorgeous plants and she never turned her back on a soul in need. She was a member of the Catholic Worker on East First St and I will never forget this brave and wonderful lady. She was a poet and a true survivor of the sixties, seventies and eighties.
God bless you Lee. I will never forget you and how you let me sleep on your floor back in the day when I was between apartments.
