You pass in silence
barely seeing,
alley filled with light,
the day still, windless
cold, the absence
of desire, when he
appears, shopping
cart of treasures,
looking like someone
you knew: a friend
who lost his way, sad-
faced boy at the park,
his eyes gazing far off,
as if he had already left
his mortal body behind.

The south or rear of Staten Island Borough Hall on a beautiful warm sunny summer day in 2015 taken late in the afternoon. Staten Island Borough Hall was designed by John Carrere and Thomas Hastings, begun in 1904 and finished in 1906. When Staten Island integrated with New York City in 1898, the decision was made to move the county seat from Richmondtown to St. George and the new borough hall was built there. Carrere and Hastings were archetitects at the firm of McKim, Mead and White before they ventured out their own, I’ve mentioned them before as the designers of the Steven A. Schwarzman Building of the New York Public Library [ flic.kr/p/spAwrT ] and the Manhattan Bridge’s stunning entrance [ flic.kr/p/pqXEUq ]. It was their firm that was chosen to do this project.
John Carrere in particular had a special affinity for this project being a Staten Island resident and was deeply involved in the design, including selection of the location, on the dramatic hilltop directly opposite the St. George Ferry Terminal so when people arrived at the terminal, the borough hall would be the first thing they would see as they arrived on Staten Island. Both Carrere and Hasting were alumni of Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris France and the red brick borough hall is a French Renaissance building with a high clock tower which because of its high perch is visible from the harbor and throughout St. George and can clearly been seen in this image.
The atmosphere on Staten Island is quite different from Manhattan and the other boroughs, not as crowded and being from New Jersey, I’d say almost Jersey like and I had a wonderful encounter with sweet bartender who really went above and beyond when someone asked her for drink requiring apple juice. She actually ran next door to deli to get some leaving the bar unattended and gave the customer just what he and his date wanted, very sweet and diligent…a shoutout to the bar maid at Jimmie Steiny’s at Baker Square adjacent to Staten Island Borough Hall (I’m bad with names sorry). Don’t forget, the ferry ride over is free, and you get spectacular views of lower Manhattan, the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, the Central New Jersey Railroad Terminal, Ellis Island, Governors Island and the Statue of Liberty going and coming, definitely would recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
