i think it was built by a company called “buildings by pittsburg” innovative designed building, way ahead of its time

]]> Comment on Millwood, NY: Labrador Bassett Hound Mix by Anonymouse http://nyphotoblog.net/2009/04/30/millwood-ny-labrador-bassett-hound-mix/#comment-173 Fri, 18 May 2012 05:44:56 +0000 http://nyphotoblog.wordpress.com/?p=82#comment-173 My baby boy is just turning 12 this year, he is a stunning basset/lab mix. I don’t believe anyone intended for his parents to breed, they just did then the puppies were dropped off at a gas station in town. But there’s nothing cruel about his existence, I do believe he enjoys being alive. He also has no trouble with movement, when he was much younger he could jump over our five foot fence, and I never seen a dog run as fast as him. Since he’s turned ten he’s slowed down a lot though. We go on nightly walks, about 2 miles, and after the first mile and a half he stops leading the way and walks by our side. He’s a perfect dog. I was just googling to show a lady at work what he looked like.

I would hate to see it demolished. If I had the money, I would turn it into my own personal home (mansion)
perhaps. The location is prime. I must say, however, the atlas’ face is a bit creepy looking.

Dilmaghani is a shady character for paying $100K a year on taxes to continue to own the property and not doing anything with it.

This should’ve been turned into a nightclub years ago, if Scarsdale wasn’t such pansies.

My deceased grandfather designed this building, and it’s recently come to my grandmother’s attention that he’s not credited anywhere online. She asked me to look into it, any info might help!

On top of that, I wouldn’t want to be the architect to try and top what was once there.

But that’s just one girl’s opinion.

Yeah, Kitty Genovese & the dilution of personal responsibility when there are multiple standers-by, perceived or real — a standard example used by many Psych 101 textbooks. Very tragic — I grew up in nearby Rego Park.

I also seem to remember there was some sort of landmark designation.
