PETER STUYVESANT MONUMENT ON THE MOVE!
POWERHOUSE WINDOWS COMPLETELY STABILIZED; ADDITIONAL $250,000 GRANT APPROVED BY GOV. CHRISTIE
After nearly two years of construction, the monumental windows of the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Powerhouse have been entirely sealed and stabilized!
This week, the great west generating room window (above iPhone photo) was topped off with final yellow-painted CMUs directly over the PATH transformer yard facing Washington Boulevard.
The preservation community of Jersey City has waited patiently as the 1908 landmark's sweeping fenestration was carefully covered over in neon colors chosen by the City of Jersey City.
The roof, however, remains to be protected from the elements.
Announcement: The Jersey City Independent reports that on August 15, 2011 Gov. Christie signed a bill appropriating exactly $250,000 to Jersey City for further stabilization of the Powerhouse! The much needed grant will be awarded via the New Jersey Historic Trust.
It is JC Landmarks' hope that these funding sources arrive soon so that stabilization of the Powerhouse continues, concludes, and leads to the next critical phases!
