A demolition permit has been issued for an almost-100-year-old Downtown Brooklyn commercial-industrial building that is slated to be replaced with a 44-story apartment tower.
The building at 141 Willoughby St. was built in 1919 as the printing plant of the American Law Book Company, according to Brownstoner. It was constructed with large retail space on the ground floor, complete with large show windows.
From 1968 until 2015, the building housed the Institute for Design and Construction, a technical school, according to Brownstoner.
