I learned from a New York Times reel on Instagram today that the design of the concrete and wooden benches once ubiquitous in the parks of Hudson has a name.
It's a variation of the Chrystie-Forsythe bench, designed by New York City Parks Department architect Charles Schmieder for Sara D. Roosevelt Park, which opened in 1934 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, between Chrystie and Forsythe streets.
