Nothing yet on this. This building was designed by famed architect 'Danforth Toan', renown for his brutalist designs. And it looks like they're doing some sort of interior renovations. The windows had been comprised of individually frosted cubes of glass. This is a LaGuardia Community College building. The college was founded in 1971, with this building being completed in 1992. Long Island City was a very different place back then, with most of the surrounding buildings being closed down factories. The neighborhood has gentrified and this college no doubt knows that. Oddly enough, no info is available on the college's website reference whatever construction this is.

Changing the windows would be a bold statement. And a really good one. For it will enhance this dynamic neighborhood even further.

The Manhattan New York Temple is the 119th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is the second temple built in New York. Door handles shaped like the Statue of Liberty torch are found throughout the Manhattan New York Temple.

Hmmm. That last tidbit of info sounds awesome, and would be a great Jeopardy question. Not looking to convert, though I wonder if they'd mind if I just photographed all of those door handles. LOL

The Fifty

Stupid name for a building. Seems these new buildings may be receiving some kind of write off if they think up the dumbest, quirkiest name.

Here's the design for the upcoming new building. I really like it

www.caliendoarchitects.com/project-gallery/31-05-astoria-...

History of the site:

After 40 years in business the Neptune Diner located in Astoria, Queens, NYC served its last meal on Sunday, July 29th. The owners claim they were not given a chance to renew their lease, because the property will soon be turned into a residential building.

Since 1983, The Katsihtis brothers have owned the building on Astoria Boulevard but not the land, which was sold in 2018 for over $10 million.

The brothers also had a 35-year lease which expired in 2019. But since then, they were not able to come to a long-term agreement with the landlord.

But that's what Long Island City/Astoria needs is another apartment building. It's already so overbuilt, it's ridiculous. Yet they keep tearing them down and building new ones, many of which are luxury rentals. The neighborhood is losing its character to concrete
