The city of New York is considering repurposing two historic gatehouses in Central Park, originally built during the Civil War for water control. Rohit Aggarwala, the commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection, sees potential in these structures beyond their original function as they no longer contribute to the water supply. The gatehouses, designed as monumental structures, could serve new purposes within the community. The south gatehouse features a prominent clock and offers incredible views of both the park and the city, hinting at their value beyond mere history.
The city is looking to repurpose two historic gatehouses that once controlled water flow into Manhattan, reflecting the shift in function from historic infrastructure to modern use.
