This red door at the back of the building is seldom seen.  This scene is of more interest than what is seen at the front of the building.

Most of the items on the outside back wall were also removed.

Cover relic

 
utility cover fro time warner
Is that an eye?
  
This "Time Warner Cable Of New York City" manhole cover was made the East Jordan Iron Works.  In 2016, Time Warner Cable was acquired by Charter Communications, which brands itself as "Spectrum".  Despite its re-branding, the parent company still has not made a complete logo consolidation of its acquisitions, leaving these relics in the street beneath our feet.
