1.27.22 Lunchtime drawing: Wah Fung no. 1 Fast Food on Chrystie Street, always a line to get in, another storefront of Chinatown on this block.

1.24.22 Lunchtime drawing: Pho 87 Vietnamese Restaurant on Chrystie Street, I’m sort of set on drawing as many of the storefronts on this block between Hester and Grand Streets as possible, freezing this winter there in art-time. Stay tuned for a new exciting Patreon page too.

12.23.21 Drawing: Chrystie Street in Chinatown (after taking the kids with to score three take-home testing kits on the LES.)

Follow up to the last post- another one at Sara D. Roosevelt Park , a year later, in 1999, by @brianwenning732 from @transworldskate 's "Feedback" 16mm 🎥 section.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Second image is from an ad in the East Side Chamber News, 1932, illustrating Howe and Lescaze's European-style housing block proposal, which thankfully never materialized. Sara D. Roosevelt Park was built in its place. #brianwenning #chrystiestreet #nycarchitecture #internationalstyle #nycskateboarding #nychistory #howeandlescaze (at Chrystie Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPbbGVbloPi/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Chrystie St. 🏙 that thankfully never materialized, or @timandvicstagram would have never blessed us with this one in 1998. (via @scienceversuslife , photo via @tednewsome)⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Ironically, Sara D. Roosevelt park as we know it today would exist if the tenements that stood there in the early 1900's were not cleared to make way for this proposed array of International Style public housing blocks by Howe and Lescaze in 1931. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Another bit of odd history, while this project wasn't built, it served as the basic blueprint for the Williamsburg Houses in Brooklyn and the accompanying Martinez Playground ie. #bluepark @blueparktrickbounty ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ This proposal was a favorite of then-mayor Jimmy Walker and @themuseumofmodernart, an outspoken advocate for the public housing project that was highlighted in it’s 1932 exhibition simply titled "Modern Architecture: International Exhibition”. To the project's credit, LES in the 1920's was suffering from dilapidated and vacant tenements, so the idea of offering high-quality affordable housing ($11/ month) was ambitious and quite good in theory. However, following the market crash of 1929 and the election of Mayor LaGuardia in 1934 (along with Robert Moses as Parks Commissioner), we instead (thankfully) ended up with Sara D. Roosevelt Park. #bobbypuleo #chrystiestreet #nycarchitecture #madcircle #nycskateboarding #nychistory #howeandlescaze #internationalstyle #robertmoses (at Chrystie Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPZLPPelEmG/?utm_medium=tumblr
