Reported byHyperallergic ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
New York City broke ground on November 9 on a $184 million reconstruction of 70 Mulberry Street, a historically significant building damaged in a 2020 fire. The 1892 structure, which housed five community organizations including the Museum of Chinese in America, will be restored by 2030 with artist Jennifer Wen Ma's permanent three-part installation commissioned for the space.
The project is under construction with completion expected in 2030.
