Brooklyn Navy Yard's doomed Admiral's Row just suffered another devastating blow—but this time it was delivered by the hands of Mother Nature, not Mayor Bloomberg. Yesterday's rain storm helped in further destroying one of the former residences (known as Building C) along Flushing Avenue, which collapsed (at least partially) from water damage. Of course, the building would have been torn down at the hands of man anyway, to make way for the almighty supermarket. Curbed has some photos from the scene.

Just to be clear:

This building suffered significant damage due to a fire several years ago.

The collapse of this building in no way represents the integrity of the other buildings in Admiral's Row.

The whole thing is just sad :(
