Iconic Brooklyn "WATCHTOWER" sign taken down after 70 years

[The Librarian]

Watch closely — because you might not see it again.

The Watchtower sign, a Brooklyn waterfront icon for 70 years, was taken down on Wednesday from atop the former JehovahÂ’s Witnesses building at 30 Columbia St.

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is moving to upstate Warwick. The nonprofit sold five Dumbo buildings last year for $340 million to a joint venture of Kushner Companies, CIM Group and LIVWRK, which plans to turn the properties into an office complex called Panorama.

The letters are each 15 feet tall and weigh up to 860 pounds. A sign named for a future office tenant will eventually replace them. The old letters will be reinstalled at the societyÂ’s new headquarters.

I was there on the last day to see these letters come down. It was a sad moment. 

Eerily, after being all over Manhattan this week I saw ZERO JW's witnessing in the streets or subways. 
The silence is deafening.

Iconic Brooklyn sign removed after 50 years....

Look closely, because you may not see it again

The Watchtower signal, a coastal icon of Brooklyn for 50 years, was removed on Wednesday from the top of the old Jehovah's Witnesses building at 30 Columbia St.

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is moving north of the Warwick state. The non-profit organization sold five Dumbo buildings last year for $ 340 million to a joint venture of the Kushner Companies, CIM Group and LIVWRK, which plans to convert the properties into an office complex called Panorama.

The letters are each 15 feet tall and weigh up to 860 pounds. A sign named for a future tenant of the office will eventually replace them. The Witnesses will keep the old letters, but it is not known what they will do with them.
