Lehigh Valley Railroad Station (Rochester, New York)

Lehigh Valley Railroad Station is a historic railway station located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. The Lehigh Valley Railroad built the station in 1905 but stopped using the station for passenger service in the 1950s. Later the station was used as a bus terminal and then as a night club. In the 1980s the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places and today it houses the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que restaurant. History Around the turn of the 20th century, the Lehigh Valley Railroad was the last of several railroads to bring passenger service to Rochester. The first passenger terminal was a small wooden depot constructed a few blocks to the south of the later station, near where I-490 passes today. The current station was built in 1905 and consisted of a passenger station and freight terminal. The buildings are located above the Johnson-Seymour mill on the Genesee River and across the river from the site of the former Erie Railroad Depot. The passenger station is a brick, hip-roofed, 1+1⁄2-story structure with French Renaissance overtones, including "two-toned walls, copper gutters and flashing and a red tiled roof." The freight terminal is a 1-story brick structure. Behind the buildings was two tracks and an island platform elevated above the river with the Lehigh Valley tracks heading south along the east side of the river. To the left of the buildings was an elevated service road that led to a bigger Lehigh Valley railyard. Passenger service ended in 1950 with the decline of the railroad which began during the Great Depression and resulted in it having to restructure its debt multiple times under the Chandler Acts of 1938–9. Post-train station years After the ending of passenger service, the station briefly served as a bus depot, but it was abandoned completely in 1954. Around the same time, the platform and tracks from the station were demolished and most of the service road was demolished in the 1960s. The buildings became widely known as an eyesore in Rochester, and a refurbishment attempt in the 1970s failed. Local developer Max Farash bought the buildings in 1982 (for one dollar), and a two-year restoration process ensued. In 1985, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After a few years in the 1990s as a nightclub called Carpe Diem, the buildings now house Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. In 2018, a re-development project on the site of the former Rochester Subway Court Street station and remains of the service road resulted in a luxury high rise being built next door and in one of the footings used to support the station being used to also support a pedestrian walkway called the Genesee Riverway Promenade. From the promenade, one can see the former braces on the station deck that once helped support the train platform and tracks.

Stage 42

Lo Stage 42 (noto come Little Shubert Theatre fino a luglio 2015) è un teatro di New York su Theatre Row, a circa mezzo miglio a ovest di Broadway. Il suo indirizzo è 422 West 42nd Street, tra la 9th Avenue e Dyer Avenue. È stato costruito nel 2002 ed ha una capienza di 499 posti, considerato un teatro Off-Broadway (meno di 500 posti). Storia Il Little Shubert è stato il primo teatro Off-Broadway di New York costruito da zero e il primo ad essere di proprietà della Shubert Organization. Costruito come parte di una torre residenziale e inaugurato nel 2002, il Little Shubert è stato il primo nuovo teatro costruito dalla Shubert Organization a New York dal 1928, quando l'Ethel Barrymore aprì sulla West 47th Street. Le caratteristiche dello Stage 42 includono un auditorium con posti a sedere che offrono una buona vicinanza al palco. Il palcoscenico stesso e la buca dell'orchestra sono di dimensioni paragonabili a quelle di molti teatri di Broadway. Lo Stage 42 è uno dei più grandi teatri Off Broadway, ma si è dimostrato un luogo costoso per organizzare spettacoli, in parte a causa di contratti con i sindacati teatrali. Nel 2011 i produttori teatrali hanno ipotizzato che lo Stage 42 potesse diventare un teatro di Broadway ammissibile al Tony, aggiungendo un posto per portarlo al minimo di 500 posti richiesto per l'idoneità al Tony; ciò non avvenne, perché per arrivare a 500 posti sarebbe stato necessario negoziare nuovi contratti con i sindacati, aumentando ulteriormente i costi.

Morrisania Air Rights

Morrisania Air Rights is a New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) public housing project in Melrose and Morrisania, Bronx, consisting of three buildings, 19, 23, and 29 stories tall. There are 843 apartments housing some 1,952 residents. It was designed by the architectural firm The Eggers Partnership. Development The planning for the development began in 1971, but construction did not begin until the late 1970s. By purchasing the air rights above the Metro-North Railroad tracks (then Penn Central), the new housing project could be built without tearing down any buildings or displacing any residents both of which saved on costs and may be one of the reasons why NYCHA was able to build such a large project during a period when few public housing units were built, even in New York City. The Morrisania Air Rights utilized a method of construction developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that relies on steel trusses rather than closely spaced steel columns, allowing the railroad to remain in operation during construction. Constructed well after the boom of public housing through the 1940s, 50s and 60s, NYCHA stopped naming the buildings inspirationally knowing there would be many tenant applications and the development is named after the air rights. The project was completed on January 1, 1981. The housing complex has persistently suffered from a higher-than-average rate of violent crime for the area and is sometimes referred to as "Vietnam" or the "Vietnam Projects."
