East Williamsburg Abjectecture Du Jour: 94 Scholes Street
Filed under: 11206, Abjectecture, East Williamsburg, East Williamsburg Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Every so often I like to include the Mister in my activities. Sometimes my reasons for doing so are laudable, sometimes they aren’t. Last night falls into the former category. You see, as I was walking down Scholes Street yesterday afternoon I saw something that profoundly disturbed me. Wishing to know if I was merely having a fit of pique, I decided to get the Mister’s take.
Me: What do you think of this?
The Mister: Ew.
Me: What gets me is this they actually tried to make it look nice. Or at least they thought they were making it look nice.
The Mister: It looks like they bought that building by the yard.
This is one of the most hideous things I have ever seen. There, I said it. I feel much better now.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Wow, that actually hurts my eyes. They did put effort into the brickwork, but failed because they found managed to find a brick the color of concrete. It might have looked better in red brick. It might not have; we’ll never know.
I thought of you yesterday when I saw a building on Bedford and North 4-6ish. It had wood paneling that reminded me of a bad ski lodge. Sorry I didn’t have my camera.
It has a cardboard egg carton kind of look.
