Demolition Starting Soon on Williamsburg Salvation Army

Although there has been buzz for some time now about how the Salvation Army intends to raze their building on the corner of North 7th And Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg and that it will be replaced by a new building, last week neighbors received demolition notices, so the structure is not long for this world. It will be replaced by a two-story building. While we weren’t able to locate a rendering for the new building, on the jump you can see a photo of the structure’s massing that the architects submitted to the city. What’s unclear to us is whether this will once again be a Salvation Army (or whether the property is in fact owned by the Salvation Army), just in more modern digs. It’s certainly a high-traffic location that would be appealing to a lot of businesses. We’re waiting to hear back from the Salvation Army for further information, but their regional office is closed today. GMAP
