If you click through to the photographers site, it links to a bunch of articles and a petition to save this building, so there seems to have been a large public outcry. But can the public defeat Con Ed?
Where is the outcry to landmark and re-use this amazing building??
They’re too busy commenting on stupid blogs

I just don’t get it – where is the community in this?
Every city has been re adapting these amazing industrial powerhouses to new uses (theaters, museums, housing) , but in New York they get torn down.
After the loses with Gutman’s fire, you would think the community would protect this one.
ridiculous.
I think this building has a far cheerier and sunnier interior than the sugar plant.
Ummm… yeah this is the Kent Avenue Powerhouse, not the Domino Sugar Refinery. Although it appears the photographer has been inside bother places…
#1 is right – this is 500 Kent, the former BRT/BMT Power House (which you’ve written about before). Its now owned by Con Ed.
The Domino Power House is coming down too (its one of the original buildings on the site, on the river side of the refinery).
What the hell has this got to do with Domino Sugar? This is the Con Ed Kent Ave plant!!
