Building 12

(Plate Shop No. 2)
Located near the south end of the Pier 70 site at the terminus of 22nd St., Building 12 measures 248’-2” x 242’-2” in plan by 59’-6” tall, and contains a total of 118,890 square-feet spread across two floors. Construction is steel and wood with corrugated steel cladding. The roofline is an Aiken configuration, with five raised, glazed monitors running east-west for the width of the building.  It was constructed in 1941 as the central building of the New Yard as part of the WWII shipbuilding effort.

Building 12 housed the plate shop and mold loft for the WWII New Yard Complex and was central to hull construction at Slips 5-8.  It is now used for impounded vehicle storage by Auto Return and the City’s MTA.
