From the elevated section of the subway between 4th Ave. and Smith St./9th Ave. stations in Brooklyn. The iconic Kentile Floors sign.

If this is the ‘Active Gate’ I would like to see the ‘Inactive Gate’.

I’ve been searching for the ‘unknown’ for quite some time. I found it last Fall on a bench in Brooklyn. Precisely, a bench on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

Two views of the Kentile Floors sign in Gowanus. The land the sign and factory sits on is part of the Superfund Site. Apparently the soil is contaminated with asbestos.

Located in DUMBO, even the outside lighting sends a less than subliminal message: “Cookies“. Yum 🙂

Faded Ad-Dumbo

The sun sliced a wedge-shaped piece out of this old, brick building in Dumbo. In the past couple of years I have shared of few of my NW Fading Ad images with Frank Jump. Since this one was in his neighborhood I thought he might have already published a copy. I love the cast iron window shutters. I’m not sure, but I don’t think there used to be glass windows behind them. Might be retrofitted with glass panes now, though. Also, (if you click to enlarge) note the star-shaped detail every few feet. It’s possible that attached to the back of the star is a long, iron bar that is used for stability in older brick buildings such as this.
