The Strecker Laboratory Roosevelt Island
On one of my morning walks, I walked around Roosevelt Island and visited Southpoint Park. my plan had been to head to Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park which I see across the East River from Manhattan, but I found out it does not open till 9 Am and by ( AM I had to be in the office most days but maybe one day I will sneak out and visit the Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park, but for this post I will focus on this building I saw and thought looked interesting

These days, the building serves as a power conversion station for the subway lines that run under the island.

Its good to be flexible when I saw the park I wanted to go to was closed I could have turned back and left the Island, but by walking around I came across this interesting building.

Whata beautiful building @tattoodjay. Too bad it has been relegated to a power station status. With the rich history it should be a museum of sorts don't you think? Love the brick detail, really quaint!
yes thats a good point and I do agree its history should have been preserved

What an interesting finish on that building. It is a basic box, but with the inlaid stones, gave it a lovely charm about it. I like the simplicity of the architectural design. And your photos captured it’s charm!
Have a fantastic day, my friend tattoodjay, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

I have to admit I had no idea of its history when I took the shots but looking up was quite interesting
yeah I've been there too!
👍🙂👍
That is a pretty cool old building. I like that they are re-using the building for something else. It allows them to keep a piece of history while also moving forward.
It caught my eye a simple design with the square shape but it has character, I to m glad it is still in good shaped and used

It sure has a style for a simple square structure
Indeed, I love the arched windows. You have good taste in architecture.
