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.

Talking About Preserving 35 Cooper Square
Monday, March 28th, 2011
“Developer Arun Bhatia heard the community outcry against demolishing this centuries-old Federal-style structure, and is willing to talk about preservation.

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!
