  What an incredible building. It looks like a film set, not an actual structure .

• Michael Daddino said:

  This was the City Hall Post Office, originally between Broadway and Park Row in New York City. Its architect was A.B. Mullett. Built in 1878, it was maligned in its time as "Mullett's Monstrosity," and demolished in 1939. Roads and part of City Hall's park stand there today. The Municipal Building (which is still around) is shown under construction in the background.

  Mullett also designed the Old (Eisenhower) Executive Office Building in D.C., which looks very similar:

  "To see a World in a grain of sand,
  And a Heaven in a wildflower,
  Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
  And Eternity in an hour."
  Fragment from "Auguries of Innocence" 1805
  William Blake (1757-1827)

  Thank you for sending this beautiful verse. Perhaps the community garden quote was inspired by Blake. See the larger view of the garden in the next photo.--A.V. Grimes
