Photos: Crane Soars Over Park Van Ness Site

May 12, 2014 by FHC

So far, the most impressive thing to be built at the site of the former Van Ness Square is the crane that will assist workers in building the future Park Van Ness.

David Bardin shared these photos as the crane was being erected on a rainy Saturday, May 10th. They hint at the immensity of the object now towering over 4455 Connecticut Avenue.

It takes a crane to build a crane:

And from Sunday – a sunnier view of the crane from the sidewalk in front of (a very busy) Bread Furst:
