Brooklyn Navy Yard, Bldg 92
Original drawings from 1858 of the entrance doors & details for Navy Yard’s Building 92
A thoroughly mixed-use building, Building 92 represents the first time in over a hundred years that the Navy Yard cut its fence and welcomed the public. This project mated the mid-19th century Commandant’s House which needed major restoration and one newly designed by Beyer, Blinder, Belle. Bien Hecho’s scope bridged these two worlds as well. A historic reproduction of the original front doors began with the original hand-drawn plans from 1858 provided by the Navy Yard’s archivist.
