Meseritz Synagogue Implodes Slightly

Three weeks ago, I wrote about a fashionable art party that was about to take place on East 6th Street.

While I was over there taking pictures of the venue, I took this picture, of the decrepit Meseritz Synagogue:

Decrepit Meseritz Synagogue.

As with many pictures I take, I held on to it, knowing that it wouldn't be long before I found a use for it, and now I have: to introduce this picture of the same synagogue, with a boarded-up window collapsed:

Imploded board.

Here's a close-up:

I wonder if there was a low-pressure condition inside? There are a lot of microclimates… in the East Village Today!
