Tree down at St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery



Workers today had to remove the last of the majestic willows from St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery… along the eastern edge of the property at Second Avenue between East 10th Street and East 11th Street… EVG reader Daniel, who shared these photos, said that the tree was diseased (there was yellow tape around it for the past week or so) …











We're curious how old the tree was… here's a photo circa 1905 via the New York Cemetery Project…

    Oh that's awful. I really hope there's some type of replacement with a similar type tree.
