Gowanus Batcave (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

The Central Power Station of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company building, commonly known as the Batcave or Gowanus Batcave, is a former transit power station at 153 Second Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn, New York City by the Gowanus Canal. It was built between 1901 and 1904, while the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company was expanding its rapid transit and streetcar service. It stopped operating in 1972 and sat abandoned for more than two decades, becoming home to a community of squatters in the early 2000s. The owners, who were planning to redevelop the site, building condominiums called "Gowanus Village", had the squatters removed and increased security in 2006. The Gowanus Village plans did not materialize and after a short time it became a popular space for graffiti and underground events.

dbo:abstract La Central Power Station of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, comúnmente conocida como Batcave o Gowanus Batcave (lit. Baticueva de Gowanus), es una antigua central eléctrica de tránsito junto al Canal Gowanus en 153 Second Street en la zona de Gowanus, en el distrito de Brooklyn de la ciudad de Nueva York (Estados Unidos). Fue construido entre 1901 y 1904, mientras que Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company estaba expandiendo su servicio de tranvía y tránsito rápido. Dejó de operar en 1972, permaneció abandonada durante más de dos décadas, y se convirtió en el hogar de una comunidad de okupas a principios de los años 2000. Los propietarios, que estaban planeando remodelar el sitio, construyendo condominios llamados Gowanus Village, sacaron a los okupas y aumentaron la seguridad en 2006. Los planes de Gowanus Village no se materializaron y poco tiempo después se convirtió en un espacio popular para grafitis y eventos subterráneos. En 2012, Joshua Rechnitz compró la propiedad por 7 millones de dólares con planes para convertirlo en The Powerhouse Workshop, un espacio anunciado como un centro para artistas. Lo administra la Powerhouse Environmental Arts Foundation. En 2019, la Comisión de Preservación de Monumentos Históricos de la Ciudad de Nueva York lo designó como un monumento oficial de la ciudad.

It is managed through the nonprofit Powerhouse Environmental Arts Foundation. In 2019, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Gowanus Batcave as an official city landmark.
