The Broadway Chambers building at…wait for it…Broadway and Chambers Street:
A very nice old skyscraper, currently getting a bit of facade repair. But there’s an issue at the corner. Maybe you don’t see it…so here’s a close-up:
Cell-phone antennas. Painted “brick” in a failing effort to match the wall behind them. The angle I used for this picture minimizes their appearance: since they project from the facade, they’re clearly visible at the edge of the building in a head-on shot.
It’s better than a fake tree, but that’s the last compliment I have for it. Yes, we need cell antennas and, yes, the building owner needs income, but this is no way to treat a landmark.
