Demolition watch: The NW corner of 1st Avenue and 2nd Street

Top photo from Friday by Steven; others from Saturday

Demo crews have made pretty quick work of the two two-level structures at 33 and 35 First Ave. at Second Street (33 housed First Avenue Laundry Center on the main level and Serenity Spa upstairs) ...
As previously reported, a 7-floor residential building with ground-floor retail is now slated for 33-37 First Ave., the vacant three-building assemblage between Second Street and Third Street. 

According to DOB paperwork, the proposed building — using the address 88 E. Second St. — will be 19,278 square feet, with 2,994 square feet designated for commercial space. Plans call for 22 residential units, likely rentals, given the square footage.

    I always hate to see old brickwork destroyed, considering that it's invariably replaced with schlocky, trashy prefab work.

    I always take note of buildings that are made with Flemish bond brickwork, for instance.
