A dreary rainy Monday (June 1) and Tuesday (June 2) showed continuous excavation work performed on the Steinway Mansion site. Note particularly the fencing installed and blocking sidewalk passage on the Mansion's eastern side on 42nd Street. Perhaps the owners and that "award-winning" architect want to keep you, Dear Readers, from "seeing" what's transpiring here.
