110 Livingston Street
110 Livingston Street is a Beaux Arts-style building located in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States.
The building was designed by the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, and was built in 1926 to serve as the headquarters for the Elks organization, including amenities such as a pool, banquet hall, and bowling alleys.〔Cooper, Michael. ("So Long, School Bureaucrats: 110 Livingston Is Being Sold" ), ''The New York Times'', July 9, 2003. Accessed November 28, 2007.〕 The building has a limestone and terra cotta facade, with Renaissance-revival style features including balustrades, egg-and-dart ornamentation, and Corinthian columns.〔(Photos of the building at 110Livingston.net )〕
In 1940, the building was converted to serve as the New York City Board of Education headquarters. Over decades of use by the Board of Education, the building became known for the entrenched bureaucracy and dysfunction of its occupants, and Michael Cooper of ''The New York Times'' stated that the building's name eventually came to symbolize the failings of the New York City school system, as "more than a location or a shorthand name for the institution it housed, the city's Board of Education. It symbolized a state of mind, a failed system that was at once imperious and impervious."〔〔(110 Livingston Gets Respect (New York Sun) )〕〔(110 Livingston Street: Politics and Bureaucracy in the New York City School System, by David Rogers )〕
In 2003, the City of New York sold the building to Two Trees Management, a primary developer of the DUMBO neighborhood, for development as luxury residential apartments, as part of development efforts taking place throughout Downtown Brooklyn. Several floors were added to the structure, and the courtyard was decorated with a trompe-l'œil mural of architectural features by muralist Richard Haas.〔(Richard Haas, 110 Livingston Street mural )〕 The interior lobby space, including a coffered ceiling, has been restored by the architecture firm Beyer Blinder Belle, and a historic theater space on the ground floor is intended to be used by ISSUE Project Room, a local arts organization.
