The two historic Admiral's Row buildings in the Brooklyn Navy Yard that are supposed to be saved are rotting away, and the Times talks to preservationists about their frustration over the National Guard not letting anyone get near the buildings to patch them up. The National Guard contends that the buildings are now unsalvageable and a threat to workers, though an independent engineer told the Navy Yard corporation that's not the case. The corporation president calls the National Guard's actions an "extraordinary head scratcher." [NYT; previously]
