Anyway, the process of demolition has revealed an interesting piece of brick artwork.
This is as close as I could zoom in. The bricks are decorated with images of mermaids, fish, leaves, feathers, an Egyptian figure and various shapes.
I confirmed with one of the construction site workers that this is an old piece they uncovered and not something new. The front of this building faces Washington Street, but I have no other information about this location (71 Laight/401 Washington) or its history, other than it was a warehouse. If there's anyone out there who knows how this came to be, I'd love to find out.
