35 Cooper Down
Sunday, May 22nd, 2011
There’s not much to see at ground level anymore. Hopefully someone has captured the demolition from above, as a record of the building techniques of the 1820′s.
The glass enfolds.
35 Cooper Square Going Down
Thursday, May 12th, 2011
The Local – East Village got inside.
The construction equipment in the foreground is for work on the street. I hope they are going to do something to make it more pedestrian friendly. It is always a challenge crossing there.

Vigil to save 35 Cooper Square
Monday, February 21st, 2011Candlelight Vigil to Save #35 Cooper Square !
Tuesday, Feb. 22 from 5:30 to 6:30pm
@ 35 Cooper Square (btwn 5th & 6th Street )
This is a candlelight vigil, not only about saving the house at 35 Cooper Square, but now, with this house as a symbol, of saving our whole neighborhood from unscrupulous developers that care nothing about our lives, our neighborhoods, or about our communities. We need to send a message, that one, we will not tolerate the demolition of 35 Cooper Square-they must incorporate this historic building into their major building plans. In addition to this-our message about further out-of-scale development to our neighborhood-will not be tolerated by the community of the East Village. Developers-take heed-we’ve had it and we will fight back!

35 Cooper – Stop Work
Saturday, February 19th, 2011Update: This story in the NY Times says that the removal of the roof tiles is recent.
A look at 35 Cooper Square from the north. From the decrepit state of the roof the interior must be soaked and probably rotting. Why waste money on a tarp, when demolition is intended. Does anyone know when it was last occupied?
You can see the size of the lot that is at stake.

This building originally called 391 Bowery was probably build in 1825. It is about to be demolished. evgrieve.com/2011/02/35-cooper-square-this-much-beloved.html
Whomever has owned this building in recent years has neglected the roof. When was the last time it was occupied?
Surrounded by glass and steel.
The spaceship hotel towers over it.
Kenny Scharf Mural Continues
Sunday, November 28th, 2010
Look closely at the lines of the spray strokes, they create a lovely filigree, making the forms light, airy and boldly three dimensional. On Saturday night Scharf had several people helping him, but he is still operating the lift and spraying every ounce of paint himself.
Saturday Night.
