A Field Guide to New York City Manhole Covers


MECHANICAL BRONX COMMUNITY COLLEGE

cover image

Mechanical?

This cover is the twin of the nearby BCC ELECTRIC CUNY cover, and may be unique in New York City in being the only MECHANICAL one

DESIGN:

The badges on the ubiquitous two strand double weave pattern give this cover its somewhat grand appearance. The patina and color of the base of the cope is also regal.

UTILITY:

Could this be the entrance to the city's hidden gears and levers of power?

RANGE:

This cover is just south of the Hall of Fame for Great Americans on the campus of Bronx Community College.
