84 Bay Street





























84 Bay St.
The Powerhouse

The powerhouse is the poster child for creative re-use of buildings in downtown Jersey City. Much has been written in print and on the web about its future-- the powerhouse was even the subject of a PATH train ad campaign. It has its own website and seems to be the pride of the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy. If things go as planned, we might one day enjoy this building as a beautiful hub for culture, retail, working and dining. Until then, I will enjoy the brightly-colored window panels installed during recent stabilization efforts. They stand in bold contrast to Newport's corporate bleakness--hopefully a sign of good things to come.
