Rendering reveal for new building going up adjacent to the Houston/Bowery Mural Wall


[EVG photo from Saturday]

As we first reported back on Saturday, workers erected a sidewalk bridge along the Houston/Bowery Mural Wall … obscuring the artwork in the process.

Approved plans call for a two-story structure to rise from the empty lot adjacent to the wall at 76 E. Houston St. and Elizabeth Street, which previously housed Billy's Antiques.

Renderings arrived on the sidewalk bridge Tuesday …





And from the looks of things, the mural wall will remain intact.



Meanwhile, through a handy blogging portal, you can still catch a glimpse of veteran Bronx graffiti artist Cope2's mural.



This does make it tough for wedding photos, unfortunately. Plan accordingly!

I like that! I especially like the flaming trees on top of it! And only 2 stories - great, considering an earlier rendition was 12, and looked like a box.

That is actually pretty. Not glassy and has some character.

That's my daughter's drawing that someone pulled out of the recycling last week. She'll be thrilled!
