Basements - All About Basement Finishing

Easily And Quickly Learn How To Finally Enjoy Your Basement... Even If It's Wet, Cluttered, And Scary.

Do you want to make more out of your basement... but currently only use it for boxes and Christmas decorations?

Your Basement Has More Potential Than You Ever Thought It Did

To some they are sources of joy, with furnished rooms, comfortable atmospheres, and plenty of storage.

To others, they are dark storage spots.

But many have found the keys to a great basement.

They've learned that basements don't just have to be used for storage.

They can be great places to have "fun" rooms in their house.

Why Not Turn That Space Into the Room You've Always Wanted?

Basements don't have to be wet, dark, and somewhat scary places where you store boxes of stuff you never look at.

They can be changed into something great!

Lighting can be fixed, the temperature can be corrected, and bugs and rodents can be dealt with.

In fact, even wet, dank basements can be turned into something you're proud of.

It feels too overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. You just have to know what you're doing...

Many basements stay the way they are because people don't have a vision for what they could be.

Just imagine what your basement could be if you put the effort into it.

Another living room? A downstairs bar? A craft room?

That's why I've written this book, Basements. I want everyone to know what I've learned about working with basements without all the trouble (and expense!) of trying to figure it out themselves.

Basements can take your homes to another level.

Besides being a source of joy, a finished basement can increase the value of your home.

Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States

The 19th (originally 25th) Police Precinct Station House, located on the north side of East 67th Street between Lexington and Third Avenues, was built in 1886-87 to the design of Nathaniel D. Bush. Appointed Architect to the New York City Police Department in 1862, Bush was responsible for the design of station houses in the city until 1895. Bush's design for this station house, a significant departure from his earlier, simpler buildings, appears to have been influenced by skyscraper and commercial building design of the previous decade in New York City. The midblock station house, five stories high above a basement, was constructed with a cross-shaped plan with one-bay wings and is faced in red brick and gray granite with contrasting buff- colored stone detail. The design combines elements of the and the Renaissance Revival and

neo-Grec styles. The three-bay main facade, articulated as a grid formed by continuous rusticated stone piers and intermediate cornices, successfully affirmed the authority of the Police Department in the rapidly expanding Upper East Side neighborhood. This station house has served the 19th Precinct since 1929. In 1990-92, the building was rehabilitated and received a new rear addition. Today, it is one of ten Bush-designed station houses in Manhattan known to survive, and is one of only two to continue serving its original function. In addition, it remains an integral component of its blockfront, consisting of four impressive nineteenth-century institutional buildings, all designated New York City Landmarks.
Police Precinct Station House, !9-21 Elizabeth Street."

The 28th Police Precinct on the Upper East Side

As Manhattan's population pushed northward into the Upper East Side in the nineteenth century, the district, though it was still relatively sparsely settled, needed a police station house. In 1852, a modest four-story brick-clad station house for the 19th Precinct was built at 220 East 59th Street. After 1878, with the construction of a new station house at 163 East 51st Street, the 1852 building served the 28th Police Precinct.

Other neighborhood institutions included Grammar School No. 76, the German Hospital, the Institution for the Improved Instruction of Deaf Mutes, the Ladies Home Society of the Baptist Church, the Presbyterian Home, the Home for the Aged Poor, the Colored Home and Hospital, the Union Theological Seminary, and St. Vincent Ferrer Church and Convent. Describing the need for a new police station house in the area in 1885.

Newly-elected mayor Franklin Edson had called in 1883 for new police station houses to replace inadequate ones, and wealthy residents of the 28th Precinct petitioned the mayor to furnish the precinct with more patrolmen. A police commission study concluded that the existing station house would be unable to absorb additional personnel and that the station house's location on 59th Street, at the southern edge of the precinct, made it difficult to provide consistent police coverage. Costello noted in 1885 that "although it has a separate prison it is the unhealthiest and most antiquated structure in the city."'^ For a brief period, additional space was leased in an adjacent frame structure. By the mid- 18805, however, the Police Department had decided, after considering several sites, to build a new station house on a lot on East 67th Street, between Lexington and Third Avenues, that was both city- owned and centrally-located.'s The lot to the east had been occupied by Engine Company No. 39 since 1875.

The 25th Police Precinct Station House

The Board of Estimate and Apportionment appropriated $70,000 for the police station house project. Costello reported in 1885 that Nathaniel Bush "is now engaged on plans for the new Twenty- eighth Precinct Station House,and that "in a few months a magnificent station house for this command is to be built on the north side of Sixty- seventh Street," with a separate prison, at a cost to exceed $80,000

The design as reported was "four stories high, with a mansard roof, and will be built of brick with bluestone copings and terra cotta trimmings. The general plan of the interior arrangements wil! be much the same as in other city police stations. . . One novel feature of the new station house will be the prison connected with it... a separate building in the rear... [in which] the walls wil! be deadened with sheet iron" so that "the howlings of noisy drunken people locked in the cells shall not be heard. The new police station house was not, however, built according to this design, and ended up being the second of two adjacent municipal projects built on East 67th Street during the 1880s.
