GL Reader Question: What’s That Greenpoint Property?

October 22nd, 2008 · 3 Comments

“Hey, I was wondering if you could help me out. When I lived in Greenpoint, there was a strange fenced-off property along the east river between Greenpoint ave and Kent street. There was a prefab looking house, lots of grass a some nice big trees. It seemed strange placed along all the riverfront warehouses. I always imagined it was some CIA safehouse; ).” [GL Inbox]

    Yes. That used to be WNYC radio station & is supposed to become WNYC Transmitter Park. The prefab house is actually a Parks Dept storage building.
