Back in 2013, the city’s School Construction Authority announced plans to renovate the exterior of the six-story, 102-foot-tall Seward Park High School, located at 350 Grand Street, on the Lower East Side. Since then the structure has been shrouded in scaffolding, and the façade is finally being revealed, Bowery Boogie reports. Upgrades include new windows, new parapets, and rooftop installations, and it appears much of the brick has been restored and cleaned. The building never closed, and work was done only after school hours and on the weekends. The rest of the scaffolding is expected to be removed imminently.

I can see when wraps it up, so silver and gold will be important surface of the building s with shining on the sun.
As A Forest Hills Hills Resident for over 41 years, I now can recall my own attendance at Seward Park HS. I recall there was A swimming pool and Rooftop Lunch hour where students could congregate. Wonder how it progressed????
