Jean Prouve house, on display by Christie's
Christie's shows off their stuff before auction, and this time they are showing off a neo-colonialist kit-house by French architect Jean Prouve.
It's a different kind of development on the LIC waterfront. Set in the nook under the Queensboro Bridge -- the future home of a monster boardwalk-commerce-and-condo development by Silvercup -- it's attracting all kinds of unusual characters to the hood. Get off the 7 on Vernon-Jackson, walk North on Vernon till nearly the bridge...and you're there. Please support your locals: pause along the way and buy an apartment!
Through July 4th weekend.
