Mind you, not knowing the brief, I have no idea whether it was really possible to avoid an oversized building like that. The architects surely could've made it less brash and ship-like to minimise that possibility though... Good decision for sure.

PS 42 opened in 1898 on Hester St between Orchard and Ludlow.  It still stands and still functions as a public school.
