As well as other historic artifacts! The contractor made an attempt to find any department that was interested in preserving stuff like this, but found no takers. Shortly after the items were disposed of, the museum notified several departments that if anything historical was found, it was to be set aside for them. Had I been made aware of these items, I would have requested them. At the time of the rehabbing, I was working elsewhere(brooklyn or the east side) with the flagging department. When I was sent to 50th St, it was too late..... |
