What Were They Thinking? Fedders Special

August 1st, 2007 · 3 Comments

What Were They Thinking Leonard and Meserole

We featured this building as a “Construction Site Du Jour” back in the spring because it was so special. Well, now that it’s been fully unveiled to the public, it’s just as nice. It’s not as, uh, ornate in design as some of our previous “What Were They Thinking?” friends. Nonetheless, its utilitarian character and profusion of Fedder’s air conditioning unit give it that certain something that make you scratch your head and say, “What were they thinking?” Thanks, as always, to our Greenpoint correspondent for taking note of this beauty and sharing.

    it’s not THAT bad from the 2nd floor up but the first floor looks like the back entrance to something or other. all it needs it some dumpsters out front.

    What were they thinking? They were thinking about robots not people. I swear I have seen far more pleasant looking “doggie daycare” buildings!
    I guess humans are low on the residential planning totem pole these days. I sure hope this building has great “amenities”? indoors?
