In this month's Urbanite, there's an article about landmarking, and one of the buildings the piece mentions that should be landmarked, but isn't, is the (soon-to-be-former) Atomic Books space on The Avenue.

"Atomic Books (1100 W. 36th St.) is a rare bit of high-style Georgian Revival in the middle of Hampden. Built in the early 1900s as a bank, its multi-paned windows, cupola, and thick brick walls contrast with its diminutive size. Zoning allows additional stories to be built on top of it as-of-right, with no public input. Landmark status would most likely prevent this."

After this post which included a link to some stunning photos of the St. Mary's cemetery on Roland, it got Hawker to thinking about what other architecturally valuable spaces/buildings there are in Hampden. There's the old police station, of course, but what are some other neighborhood gems?
