Big Blue Conch

This used to be a blue, single story building along the BQE on Meeker @ Varick, but it has all grown up!

Prior to the addition, it was Conch Umbrellas, a Chinese-owned umbrella manuacturer located throughout the U.S.  including right here in Greenpoint, USA.

It could still be them, it certainly doesn’t look like a residential building.

From a distance, I thought that some kind of Ikea pop-up store was happening.
