Title: The Puritas PromenadeLocation: Node 1, The corner at West150th StreetArtist: William Culbertson

A masonry and precast seating and wall sculpture. The two large columns feature relief sculpture representing the Puritas area and community.

Dimensions: 20’ x 20’ x 8’

Masonry for the promenade would match the masonry for the building thereby extending the station experience to the corner.

The ground will be graded up behind the wall sections ensuring safety and security.

The sculptural wall unit will also serve as bus-stop seating as well as a backdrop to the node.

Styling is meant to echo the Station styling, creating a visual connection to the two locations.

Bench seating

Sculpted relief panels on the four sides of the tall columnsreflect the neighborhood's past and it’s future aspirations.
