I think it's so hard for us to understand how it could have been torn down because we're 60 years removed from the mindset of that time.
No buildings like this would be owned by private companies today, but that's what this was. a civilizational treasure owned by a private company. when that company's entire industry collapsed, people saw replacing something built by a dying industry as progress. didn't have the foresight to appreciate the rarity of what they had.

yep, read this a few years back. strikes awe at the almighty undertaking that was achieved by a private company ~115 years ago. also just a cool snapshot of nyc history and what the city was like at that time.

I’ve only lived in New Jersey and Manhattan but have a lot of love for Brooklyn and south bk in particular. Such great neighborhoods to bike through and see what you might run into

Maybe not every company wants to be fully remote just because it’s easier for you to be in your pajamas all day
