GOWANUS SUNSET

Epigrams

The Gowanus Canal from the Carrol Street Bridge, 2004. I see nothing but industry, while others see different.

Things are changing signicantly with its clean-up and housing. They saw opportunity.

In the backgroind is the old Kentile sign that was eight stories tall and was taken down in 2014, and saved for a future place, but only the letters which are twenty feet tall. The steel had rusted and couldn’t be saved.

Kentile Floors manufactured asphalt and vinyl flooring containing asbestos until approximately 1986. It lived on but finally closed.
