 Buy Show Video
Bob begins with a progress report on demolition and reconstruction work accomplished to date. Meeting up with Chris Vila on the buildings first floor, Bob learns about the eight full dumpsters worth of debris that was removed from the building—a large amount for such a small building. On the building’s exterior, power washing is underway on the front façade, and Bob and Chris talk about plans for restoring the brickwork. Bob also pays a visit to Jane Walentas, a member of the development team and part of DUMBO’S growing artist community. Walentas is restoring an antique carousel back to its original splendor. Back on site, new six-by-six double hung Pella windows are being installed on the fourth floor.
