last pics i took before the building got stripped to be sold as condos...i was sad to see all the graffiti go and along with it, the street art gatherings and the vibe of the block.. I miss the John Simpson's candles placed along the windows of each floor which gave it that hunted house feel and of course its Candle Building name... 11 Spring was built in 1888 as a carriage house and horse stable, it was bought in the 70's by J. Simpson who was a theatrical and eccentric set designer, he loved making funky gadgets and other wacky stuff... oh and lived there all alone.
