I admit my picture was not actually of the Bridge, but was in my narrative regarding Robert Moses (see the first trackback).

Spuyten Duyvil Railroad Building

I can’t claim to know anything about this little building. It is plainly visible from both the Henry Hudson Bridge and the Spuyten Duyvil train station, so I would guess tens of thousands of people are exposed to it daily. However, a quick search on the web didn’t turn anything up (I didn’t know what terms to use, though). I would love to see it close up, but I am not one to jump fences and risk life and limb on the train tracks (not to mention prison for trespassing) for this.

Do you know anything about it, dear reader?

Although this was a very well known building, its destruction is even better-known; see this post on my personal blog for historical quotes on the progression of the demolition and the public outcry.
