Williamsburgh Savings Bank in Panorama; LIC Leasing Check

WILLIAMSBURG?Yesterday we took a look inside the Williamsburgh Savings Bank, the historic bank building that Brooklyn hostel owner Juan Figueroa is converting into an event space/banquet hall (with hotel next door). Photographer Will Femia created a few panoramas of the space, which is being cleaned, restored, and built out in a rather involved process that includes four miles of heating tubing underneath the floor and another 20 room-sized AC units. Have a look at the restoration in the expandable panorama shot above. [CurbedWire Staff]
