There used to be a strange octagonal little tower structure, I'm thinking I hadn't been there since '87, '88, '89, maybe - do I have the wrong place or is this little bldg still there? I used to love to look at it from across the river, esp. when they lit it all up. What a beautiful bidg. i believe it was also called Welfare Island. That's what I always knew it as. Maybe I had that wrong too?

when I left the Bronx in the early 90's alot of abandoned bldgs had boarded windows with the window shade thing painted on them. I think it was a feeble attempt at making the area look less "menacing"?
