Bulldozers for Ward's Bakery
Brownstoner
In a press release yesterday, the visigoths at FCR announced that 800 Pacific Street, aka Ward's Bakery, had less than 100 hours to live. One of the most architecturally significant — and most easily adaptable — buildings in the Atlantic Yards footprint, Ward's Bakery didn't make the cut with LPC (politics, anyone?). Trying to save a little face with the preservationists and environmentalists, FCR announced that it would be recycling 75 percent of the demolished building materials.
