Matt Inman, The Oatmeal Creator, Works To Save Nikola Tesla's Old Laboratory With Fundraiser

08:31 AM on 08/17/2012 The museum would be in the former Peerless Photo, Inc. site which was contaminated and mitigated of photo-chemicals. I'm not sure the tower site was kept, the base was shown in the press to be bulldozed when so cleaned or was in the past. The building was designed by the famous architect, Stanford White, who lived not very far away, nearby Stony Brook having built there a "world's tallest"(?) windmill. He was a victim of gun violence and a moment of insanity. You might think given the breadth of White's influence, White House, Washington Square Arch, Municipal building, to name a few, that the Tesla lab would be preserved for that additional historical significance. And it's nearby the Brookhaven National Laboratory! Huffington Post Science
