 | | You were the harbor workers’ stock, a narrow dwelling for folks with tired bodies and burdened shoulders. |
 | | You were gutted, fitted with wrought-iron spiral staircases, marble shower stalls, stripped of that Formstone (or left intact, and called “kitschy”), and capped with a rooftop deck that overlooks your neighbors and beyond, a blocky landscape of more and more rowhouses like you spread to the hazy horizon. |
 | | Alas, once and future workers’ home, you are the mighty building that defined the city, and defied the city. |
