New York City has two local ironworkers unions: Local 40
for structural steel and Local 580 for ornamental steel, consisting
of curtain walls, storefronts, stairs, and the like. The latter
is housed in an 18,000 s.f. conversion of a warehouse and
auto body shop in Long Island City by Daniel
Goldner Architects of New York. Given the nature of the
client, it was natural for the building to act as a display
for the union's abilities and to likewise inspire the apprentices
in the three-year training program.
