The thick brick walls and former warehouse openings tell a story of goods once handled along the East River. Walk through the complex and compare its old fabric with the park and skyline just outside. The rooftop garden, when accessible, adds a higher angle on the bridges, but the main interest is the meeting of industrial architecture and a lively public waterfront.
